London based street artist D*Face deposited these large, concrete spray cans (click image for a larger pic) in a number of tourist hotspots across the city as a comment on the authorities increasingly strict clampdown on street art in all it's guises.

D*Face says:
"It’s an art form that’s inspired generations and spawned this whole scene where a Banksy can sell for hundreds of thousands and be shown in top galleries and be lauded by the establishment. Yet at the same time, with CCTV and all the Big Brother-style surveillance that’s on our streets, it’s getting harder to actually create street art where it’s meant to be."
