In recent weeks there has been somewhat of a boom in the number of paste-ups going up on walls around the East End. Although not everyone is a fan of this medium, we personally love a good paste-up and enjoy seeing how they change and evolve if left up long enough.

A mix of local London street artists and some international artists have been contributing to some of this new work we have been seeing around Shoreditch and Brick Lane. One of these artists is Portuguese street artist and tattooist Nuno Doc Costah aka Costah.
The artist has been hitting the neighbourhood hard over a number of visits which have seen an invasion of his large-scale hand-painted paste-ups featuring one of his signature bird characters. Below are are a selection of some of the birds from Costah we have spotted.
Paste-up work by Costah on Brick Lane, London.
