Probs was able to get out to the King John Car Park and finish off his Avengers piece that he started 5 months ago!!! Due to the Hackney House tent that went up in the summer this piece was put on hold but man it was worth the wait. His Goodies Vs Baddies Avengers wall was a monumental triumph and definitely worth a look if you are in the area. There's a Lister piece there too, surprise surprise....
