What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLondon street artist Endless has built a new installation in Notting Hill called Endless Frieze, with buildings and street scenes, and it honours locals, the BBC reports.

  2. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHonours them how? I've been honoured before. It usually ends with a plaque and a bill.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPortraits go up on the wall as soon as they're taken. The piece is being made in real time.

  4. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the wall's not finished until I walk in. I'd like it on record I was never consulted.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's opening night, Dale.

  6. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRight, I've never seen a single art show, to be fair. I thought a frieze was something you did to peas.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAmong those featured are a fourth-generation Portobello market trader and a man known locally as Notting Hill's best dressed.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne of them, Jama Emli, says, quote, I'm in the art, in the fashion, I'm a walking art. Which is more than I've managed.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt runs until the thirty-first of October. Endless says working in real time can be a creative risk.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo if you go, you may end up in it.

  11. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen I'm sending a cardboard cutout of me.
