Underwood Street (which is parallel to Oxford Street) crosses William Street a block to the north. It is a narrow jaggy street, but that is not unique in Paddington. On one corner sits a laundromat, and on another a pub, The London.
The laundromat is in a two storey, non-descript terrace building, plentiful in Paddington, which probably dates from the 1880s. Beside the laundromat, is a barely sign-posted graffic design studio.
I gather that commissions are scarce, and income borderline.

Laundromat and pub both present a risk for drowning!
I love finding little gems like these
I used to think I'd enjoy graphic design but I'm glad I never tried it. There must be many in every city whose incomes are borderline.
Fascinating photo, Julie.

Wonderful! I like such a dark sense of humour.
I do like this type of stencil art even when it often appears as graffiti.
Jim, there is graffiti and there is graffiti. I am wandering the streets, finding the type of graffiti that shows technical ability and intelligent comment. There is much about.
it's wonderful when you happen upon a little gem like this. Good one!
Nice bit of graffiti art.
Really strong image, both by you and whoever stenciled the wall. It's just damn hard to make a living from art. The market, frankly, isn't that big and the competition is enormous.
Maybe they are positioning themselves in a "macabre" niche that just isn't cutting it in Sydney:-) I really like this stencil, mind.
I thought we must be in Avignon, where Nathalie shows examples such as this. I love street art when it's like this.
A very unique artwork and advertising logo. Certainly eye catching.
I thought it was good graffiti but it is actually design.
I find this bit of art/graffiti/design rather haunting.
I guess that is how the designer will look if he doesn't get work.
