  • An artist is incongruously enclosed in roadworks barriers at the busy junction of Piccadilly Circus in London's West End. Painting with an easel and applying careful brush strokes amid the noise and chaos of this busy traffic junction in the capital. A young man walks past barely noticing the artist as he strides through the heart of London's west end. But on the youth's t-shirt is a modern interpretation (wearing glasses and apparently spitting liquid into a cup) of Hans Memling's "Portrait of a Man with a Coin of the Emperor Nero (Bernardo Bembo)" German-born artist Jan van Mimnelinghe (Hans Memling, c. 1435-94) was well known all over Europe. During his lifetime, he painted commissions not only for the Burgundian Dukes, but also for patrons in Germany, Austria, Venice, Florence and London.

  • Alternative face painting, here a slice of watermelon. The Art Car Boot Fair in a car park just off Brick Lane in East London. This is an alternative art event where artists show their works and engage with the public. The Art Car Boot Fair was an idea that grew out of a desire to re-introduce some summer fun and frivolity into a thriving but increasingly commercial London art scene. The aim for the Art Car Boot Fair is to be a day when the artists let their hair down and for all-comers to engage with art in a totally informal way, and to pick up some real art bargains.
