Follow up of London Street Art

Dad and I went on our street art tour today, and I was rather impressed by the amount of artwork that was on walls everywhere. Here are some pics. 
This is done by Otto Schade. He does pieces inspired by Banksy (who you will see later), which consists of stencils and adding a touch of humour. He also added the whole kids with weapons aspect which was a phase of banksy's a few years ago. 
This is a piece by Jonesy. He does metal sculptures on poles. 
This is a piece done by Banksy. He added his signature policeman and added humour by adding his 'watchdog' aka the poodle. 
This is a piece by Gregos. He's French and decided to make molds of his face out of modelling clay. 
There's a sticker on the no entry sign that looks as if the person were carrying the white line away. 
This tile is a rolling fool. The rolling fool is a stop motion video that the artist made when he took still pictures of each piece that he made. Each jester is on a different angle, making the overall stop motion video look like the fool is moving. 
This is a cubist inspired piece by Alo. He does a lot of pieces similar to this. 
There are a lot of small pieces of the queen. Some show the queen smoking a cigar, but this has transformed her into a man. I don't know the artist or the story behind it, but I believe that it is meant to be humorous.
