This guy so rocks.
Pretty inspiring pieces, and the scale is quite impressive.

I don't know about you, but some of these are just kind of freaky. I wouldn't want it on my building…

That's sort of the point of art: to make you feel or think something. Grey concrete gives you absolutely nothing except boredom.

All of this awesome art reminds of the show super jail.

I'm not usually a fan of street art , but this guy's work is amazing!

#1 I pictured myself as this guy when I ate broccoli as a child…I guess I still do that now too.
The President

The way he uses the features of the building is #25 and #31 is brilliant! Every city should have at least a crew of such artists animating our visual environment.

Look up some of his videos on youTube, quite a lot of his mural work is filmed as stop-motion animation.

His videos are amazing. Kind of a trip. But amazing nonetheless.

Saw #7 in Kreuzberg when I was visiting Berlin. You turn a corner and it hits you like a sack of bricks. Really awesome.

I can really appreciate the work that has gone into these but damn, I will have nightmares about these tonight.

#7 can't imagine how many hours he spent making that one. Really impressive!

And then some lame graffiti artist, with no talent, tags it. I like graffiti but the artist themselves have no respect for each others work.

Graffiti = lame / street art = awesome. There is a difference and most assholes with a can of spray paint can't tell the difference.

#25 is pretty cool

I'm 90% sure #4 is actually done by Brazilian Twins Os Gemeos –> Their stuff is amazing too

I feel there are profound hidden meanings deep within these murals…

Christopher McGowan

Oh no! I'm going to get thumbs down?? How will I carry on with my day?!?!?!

I hope this guy gets arrested! He probably lives in his mom's basement in Bologna.

I'll still thumb you down wether you care or not.
