These are incredible! Street art has such a unique feel to it. I love the politically inspired ones and particularly the affirming typewriter. Oh, and the flamingos because who doesn’t love flamingos?? How great!
Hi Spira! Yeah, they’re in a similar spirit to Banksy aren’t they. What I also like about them is that many were images pasted onto the walls, and the act of tearing away at some of them gives them a different aspect.
Hey TVTA! You are absolutely right about them!!
It brings to my mind this from Tao Te Ching:
pots are fashioned from clay but it’s the hollow
that makes a pot work
windows and doors are carved for a house but it’s the spaces
that make a house work.
Have a nice day.

It’s a good mix isn’t it – from politcal statements to positive affirmations as you said.
And yes, Flamingos – even the name is cool!

Banksy did open the way, yeah? I really like them and at any rate are much more preferable from tags.
