My work trip to Peterborough in April had spin-off benefits, as do all my work trips when I am 'on tour', in the form of exploring a new city, finding interesting doors and sniffing out graffiti and street art.

Nyces (Nathan Murdoch) is a bit of a celebrity in his home city, and this piece sparked a series of local newspaper and TV features about the artist, such as this one in the Peterborough Telegraph. The colourful piece is not only wonderfully painted in a patchwork of colour and geometric segments, it also has an uplifting message for the heavy traffic that passes by saying "Hello my beautiful people". Nyces is a big graffiti fish in a small bowl.
