Ronzo ‘Pity of London’ video part 1

UK street artist Ronzo recently uploaded a three part documentary of his antics in the City of London earlier this year.

Back in January, Ronzo erected three self-made statues around London to comment on the financial state of the country.

His statues, which feature a character called Crunchy, the credit crunching monster, were placed next to the three dragon statues that mark London's financial district, to state that this is now the home of the credit crunch.

I love the way that Crunchy stares mockingly at each of the dragon sculptures.
