My Dog Sighs Artwork

A beautiful piece of street art from local artist "my dog sighs". Taken in Albert Road, Southsea. Another "eye" from the same artist I found a while ago: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/50628874/in/album/385235

I spotted this whilst exploring along Albert Road in Southsea, Hampshire. It's signed by "My Dog Sighs", a well known local artist whose work is frequently seen in the Portsmouth area. I have no idea what it represents, but it's very striking! I think it's worth a look at large size if you have time :-)

This is a wonderful piece of street art in Hilsea, Nr Portsmouth, by the artist My Dog Sighs. There are actually two of these eyes in the original artwork, which is painted on a huge wall but I chose to take a shot of just one of them, as I only had a 40-150mm lens with me and I could not get far enough away to get the whole of the wall in shot without falling into the sea! (Yeah, I know, no commitment). The scene in the eye is of the Hilsea Lido. Go large for best effect.

Yeah, I know.............weirdest title ever! I took this photo yesterday, but I'd been waiting to take it for about six weeks. The building sits on a busy main road on the approach to Southsea. There are very few places to park and so I kept driving past, thinking I'd could always get the shot next time I was in the area. Yesterday I spotted a parking space. I parked up and walked back a 100 yards or so and to my dismay noticed that the owner had built a door in the wall and ruined the artwork. How inconsiderate! Nevertheless I decided to take the photo anyway. Note to self: Never wait too long to get the shot, it may not be there when you go back :-))) The wording on this wall used to read "Phone your Mum (she worries)" Oh well...................... Note: The original artist is "My Dog Sighs". Another example of his (or her) work can be found here: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/45531378/in/album/385235

A large piece of work on the front of boarded over shops in Southsea, Hampshire. The artist is "My Dog Sighs".

The artist is a local Southsea man who goes by the name of "My Dog Sighs". I've started to try and get a record of all his work, as I think he's excellent. Check out his website: mydogsighs.co.uk

Another wonderful piece of street art from local Southsea artist "My Dog Sighs". On this occasion he's also added some colourful bird boxes..!!

Another bit of artwork by My Dog Sighs in Southsea, Hampshire. This one has been done before..........I spotted it a couple of years ago..........but it got ruined and he repainted it (almost the same) in a different location. See the link to discover how it got ruined: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/50590700/in/album/1344484 Have a good Friday everyone...........

Taken in Portsmouth along one of the main road into and out of the city. Please view large and check out the PiP for a close up of one of the eyes. The artist is My Dog Sighs.

The Lido at Hilsea near Portsmouth, is in the process of being renovated and is currently hidden behind a series of temporary hoardings. As the hoardings were so boring the council invited some local street artists to come and brighten them up. There are several works of art on show, but this one is my favourite. It is a collaboration between two artists; My Dog Sighs (who did the eye) and Fark (who did the rest). Please view large and check out the two PiPs for close up views of the eye. The background in the eye is the Portsmouth skyline. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend.

Taken last Wednesday afternoon. To the right of the tower is the Gunwharf Quays shopping centre and in the background is the Naval Dockyard. On the post in the foreground is a sticker made by the street artist "My DogSighs". Best viewed large if you have the time. Thanks for looking.

A couple more pieces from the recent street art festival in Portsmouth. This one is by the artist My Dog Sighs, who was the main organiser. The "canvas" is the side wall of the Astoria night club, In the PiP is a close up of the centre of the eye!

Another fantastic piece of artwork by local Southsea artist "My Dog Sighs". This is on the wall of what used to be a huge Knight and Lee department store (and as it says on the wall, a branch of the John Lewis Partnership) which sadly, closed with a huge loss of jobs. It was one of two "flagship" stores in the shopping centre (the other being Debenhams, also closed down). I suspect both will soon be demolished and turned into housing. mydogsighs.co.uk/art

This is a fairly new piece, painted in what was the entrance to Debenhams department store Portsmouth, which closed down some years ago. The image in the PiP was taken in Albert Road, Southsea. Check out the artist's web site here: mydogsighs.co.uk There's also an interesting interview with the artist here: www.art808.co.uk/interview-with-my-dog-sighs

Most of you will know that I often post photos of street art made by the artist "My Dog Sighs". These are some of the tin can faces that he creates, which were in an exhibition of his work in Portsmouth last month. The exhibition has now moved on to Bristol. Please check out the PiPs. His website can be found at: mydogsighs.co.uk . I have quite a few other images from the exhibition which I will post (a few a a time) in due course.

Poitou donkeys Three more images in the PiPs. Thanks for looking. mydogsighs.co.uk

This is the street artist "My Dog Sighs" working on a piece of art on the side of the footbridge of Cosham railway Station, Hampshire. This will be his contribution to the street art festival taking place this coming weekend. He's a lovely guy and was quite happy for me to take a photo and to chat for a few minutes about his work. I will eventually go back and take a photo of the finished piece. In the PiP is a quick shot I took of the "tools of his trade". This is NOT meant as an HWW image, so no HWW group suggestions please :-)

Most of you will know that I am a great fan of the street artist "My Dog Sighs". Here are some more photos of his exhibition artwork taken at his exhibition in Portsmouth last June. Have a good weekend everyone..!!
