    No. 5 is the corner of Mary's Lane and Arran Street East (I think) - as carolmon said it's at the fruit market.

    Try again - you're exceptionally close but perhaps have the streets mixed up. ;)

    (PS - Robert Street is off Clonliffe Road. The street you are referring to is Robert Street South. ;))

    It's not St James Walk but there is a halting site on the next street on the right and it is next to Guinness.

    Come on Gavin - this is your neck of the woods! :D

    Clue - it shares it's name with another street in Dublin 8 leading to some confusion!

    :D On a roll today I am.

    Roy? dunno what that is about. But Maser is a graffiti artist, he does lots of legal pieces of art in Dublin for example there is on on South Richmond Road in Portobello which is brillaint. The Maser loves you is a trademark of his sort of speak of his, often you might see a3 sized stickers around Dublin with, lamps and other weird objects with Maser loves you on them.

    I saw loads of those table lamp type posters and hadn't a clue what they were about. There's loads along Benburb Street. I was even going to begin a thread asking about them! Thanks for that.

    Yup thats them.

    Next time you're around Dublin, have a look on South Richmond St, his art is amazing. He also has some good stuff on a lane off Adelaide Road next to the Eye & Ear Hospital.

    Then maybe the 'Roy' in the picture is referring to Roy Lichtenstein, the pop artist, who did all of his paintings in that style? Maybe Maser's stuff is a homage to Lichtenstein or something?

    OK lads/ladies, this one remains. It's in Dublin 2 and we've had two guesses for Pearse Street already possibly inspired by a clue on the left of the picture.

    I'm sure many of you have driven by or stopped at lights here. Unfortunately I don't seem to have a wide view picture.
