There are way so many ugly, run-down buildings, bridges, tunnels and walkways that can be completely transformed into exciting and fun environments with some creative input.

The Potential of Street Art
Tapping the creative talents of street artists, illustrators and graphic designers is an effective and cool way to make bland public spaces, old buildings, bridges and car parks new again, and to freshen up the concrete jungle.
Street artists and muralists bring with them vibrant and a new perspective that architects or designers may not have. This does not mean that millions need to be spent to upgrade the buildings immediately, all you need is vision, courage, local creative talent and some colorful paint like these perfect examples here.

i love street art so much. graffiti is my passion for about 22 years and i think the new street art is amazing. i will follow you blog daily, keep up with the flicks.. i'll follow you if you follow me. lets go !!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks pretty cool, following.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is great, I'm guessing that's a Banksy?
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest issue is the old people who still see 'street art' as some pants-down-low kid from the '80s spraying his name on your grandmother's apartment building. They should allow the more positive stuff to go up, that first picture for example is better than most 'splatter paint on some canvas' modern art.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do some graffiti. Too bad Britain has so many damn CCTV cameras
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they were commissioned to do these or if they just did it.
ReplyDeleteVery cool street art! IM following you! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stuff. It inspires me to go and try to beautify the world with this brand of folk art.
ReplyDeleteThis is really a great idea to spruce up some of the shadier parts of town
