Share some great graffiti

Found my ideal spot on the beach for my morning walks and this on the promenade





“Know that there is no truth in the lies called reality and it is your joy to discover that happiness is found beyond the bubbles.”

“It is healthier to make your own decisions from the taste of sour fruit from a tree than the sweet hanging fruit of advice.” Rough translation :blush:

And have to add the beach, consider it nature’s graffiti

Hi Edith, I know that rabbit! it’s on the Gaia side and close to the Douro docking stations of our river ships. The rabbit is indeed impressive :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s a great neighbourhood, especially after the Corona pandemic renovations.

@Amparo, those quotes sound suspiciously like things you’d say. Are you sure you didn’t create them yourself, just to post them here?! :rofl:

(They’re fabulous BTW, whoever the creator was. Thanks for sharing them.)

This is so inspiring. I’m an artist myself and it is so wondering to see creative way to express this kind of art.

Thanks for sharing.

Promise I did not but I attract and see everything I am feeling. Good or bad.
And that’s the truth.
:hugs::sparkles:
Guess which feelings I nurture the most? :blush:

Guess what? There’s now a Banksy Museum in Brussels!

The museum recreated over 130 Banksy creations in replicas of the gardens, prisons, hotels, schools and more that were the original canvases for the works. Visitors also get to view and learn about some of the works by Banksy that have been erased or destroyed in their original form.

Yes! Loved wandering around there.

@Karen_E I saw some Banksy graffiti at Portobello Road Markets in London a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if it is real or not.

@Crookie not sure if you managed to see this Banksy mural, it is located at the corner of Acklam and Portobello Road.
The Girl with Balloon I remember seeing at South Bank London on Waterloo Bridge and it was at other locations in London although sadly none remain of this mural there now.
We both love to hunt out Banksy murals wherever we are in the world! :slightly_smiling_face:

Not seeing much street art here in Turkiye yet, but did come across this small offering in the old town of Antalya, where we are staying for a few days, closely guarded by the local “kediler” (cats).

@Amparo I wondered who might zoom in on that :wink: … The people here are kind, sensitive and gentle from our experience so far and best of all they LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their cats too. Happy Christmas and a fab New Year to you too xx

Banksy’s mural Girl with a Pierced Eardrum - a parody of Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer which appeared in the street artist’s home city of Bristol in 2014. A face mask was added in a nod to the coronavirus pandemic, which I spotted and photographed this back in 2020 when in Bristol. It is not known who put it on the wall.

I don’t have a photo of this … years ago we were at a public park in Ganges, on Salt Spring Island, BC, Canada. My wife stepped into the ladies’ WC and came out with a big smile on her lovely face. I asked “what gives?” … she reported that the mirror was broken over the sink, and in it’s place was graffiti that read “You Are Beautiful!” … such a fine expression of sensibilities in that part of Canada!

I came across this whilst walking around St Kilda in Australia a few days ago. Someone has painted on a fence, someone painting on a fence.

@colin I love the cone at the bottom, as it’s hard to tell if that’s in front or part of the painting!

@BruceT what a delightful surprise that must have been for your wife and so many others! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Some of my all time favorites - in a small town just north of La Pinata, Nayarit, Mexico.
