The Stratford Grapevine
If you a passing Stratford Underground Station, you can pick up a copy of The Stratford Grapevine a community newspaper made for and by the characters, staff and groups around Stratford. The project is by artist Lucy Harrison and commissioned by Platform For Art.
Lucy asked if I would draw portraits at Stratford which I did one day in April.
I was delighted to find the portraits fill the double page spread in the newspaper.

Also there adorning the staircase throughfare and balcony are Alan Kane's The Stratford Hoard ; collections of collections of things like sugar sachets, teaspoons, teapots , religous fliers and jugs.

It is all part of The Stratford Research Project

You should go to Stratford Underground Station as it is really good.
