London attracts weirdos in a big way. I try and hang around the tourist spots a few times a month since there are often very entertaining things happening. Usually this is in the form of Street Performers or other people doing things for money.
For many months now I kept bumping into one specific guy that always hang around Piccadilly and areas but never had a camera with me to capture him. Tonight I did and finally got some shots of him. He started off standing with a board with the words "Odd Erection" printed on it in many different languages, with a weird picture. Eventually he started wearing a tshirt with the same on. Thesedays you will often find him talking to tourists who obviously cannot help asking what the story is. I too asked him what is going on and he told me he just has nothing better to do, other people claim he told them he is a art student. Regardless, he has been a constant London peculiarity now for 8 or so months.
Here he is with his old card board, he also got a mention here and on some other places.
