Street Art

[Katherine]

I saw this graffiti on my walk today. It's one of the tunnels under the motorway in Worsley Woods.
I can't quite work out what it says and no idea what it means .
There's a bit at each end of the tunnel, nothing on the dark part in the middle.

I'm wondering if they're not English words?

I'm wondering if they're not English words?

Think they're more likely to be someone's "tags"

I saw this one In Hackney at the weekend, near Howling Hops and Crate breweries

The see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil apes, on the side of Kinkao in Brick Lane have had more additions, this time with added bling and a youngster. Last week it looked like this.

And this week.

Here's a tribute to American singer Charles Bradley by Trafford Parsons, in a side street off Brick Lane.

the 'what a beautiful smile' is painted onto a collection of soft drink cans.

And over in Camden is another 3 dimensional work.

And back on Brick Lane a new Ant Carver.

And finally a rainbow baby rhino on Roseberry Avenue that seems to be related to Peter Crouch, it looks a bit long in the leg to me

In hot cities like Lagos and New York you get an amazing form of accidental tarmac art when bits drop off vehicles and get pressed into the hot surface:

@GM The whippet meet up in Viccy Park? That sounds like a sentence from a hundred years ago.

Good one, we've definitely not had that. I thought it looked like it could be by Phlegm, so had a quick look and yes it is, their most recent work

Puerto Natales, Chile

Thanks @dickyknees that's our first from Chile, another country to our collection. You seem to be on an epic south American tour sir, thanks for sharing the artworks you're seeing along the way, and helping us expand our global street colouring in. Enjoy the rest of your adventure

And to continue the bird theme, from Great Eastern St

And nearby I saw this, which having seen the recent time lapse showing how he layered the colours, looks like it may be by Dan Kitchener. I shall be along tomorrow to see if that's the case and how its developed.

And just along the same road is this, which is also new.

 

[Reynard]

Ooooh!!! That Dan Kitchener is *amazing*

Car looks very much like a Formula E...

Glad to contribute.

We are indeed on a South American trip, off to the Atacama desert later today and then home after nearly four weeks.

@dickyknees sounds like a great trip. I know the Atacama desert is the driest place on earth so no need for waterproof paint there.

According to this link the Atacama desert has over 5000 geoglyphic artworks (prehistoric works of art placed on or worked into the landscape).

I know its not technically street art, but I'd love to see some posted here if you see any. I don't know how possible that is without a helicopter or hot air balloon though. Hopefully there's some smaller and easier to photograph ones. I hope coming from the driest place on earth back to Anglesey in November is not too much of a shock to the system.

And here's the finished Dan Kitchener. I shall wait for an update from our resident motor sport ace @Reynard to confirm if this is based on an actual car or not
