Photos of 'Free Gaza' graffiti on Muntz Street in Small Heath, Birmingham and a mural that stood on Falls Road, West Belfast in 2002. This is a repaired frame from 288 frames that were taken in Belfast but were damaged by British Special Branch when the film was seized.

There's plenty of his work around Brum including a mural on Manjits builders merchants in Moseley and another mural in the car park of Aldi in Sparkhill that reads 'Feed the Poor'. Some people have mistakenly assumed this is some kinda promotional advert associated with Aldi! There's also some religiously inspired multi-faith murals around as well that some people might not appreciate as much. Ali emphatically states that he doesn't support 'illegal graff' and it looks like he's one of the select few painters that have managed to eek out a career for themselves jetting off all over the world to do his ting. Wonder if he started off tagging and doing 'illegal graff' in the first place?
You can check out the painting of the free gaza mural here http://www.aerosolarabic.com/picgallery/#/content/UK/Birmingham%20Free%20Gaza%20Mural/ where you might recognise none other than Moazzam Begg posing as a shoe throwing protesta for the mural.
