street art /urban art

Murals here are primarily used for spatial demarcation - you wont find them in posh suburbia (that I know of) - but I have to say I feel totally fine and safe around them. I guess cause I grew up through the Troubles, they have always just been there...but quite a few are getting 'cleaned up'

Some of the best murals I've seen pictures of are from Londonderry/Derry City: Clicky

damn those are very cool. the gasmask one is interesting.

aside from the urban arts corridor we dont have alot of art here on buildings. alot of cool statues though. my faves are the jimi hendrix statue on capitol hill and the huge troll crushing the vw bug under the freemont bdidge.

You could start up a troubles tours style venture like in give my head peace rufus

. Northern Ireland is definitely unique when it comes to street art/murals, there are some fantastic ones from both sides, I always liked the trooper one from Iron maiden, there was one in Ahoghill not sure if is now. them murals are bloody great Marco where abouts in Amsterdam are they?

That's the sort of street art I like that Marco posted, good heavy graphics with a bit of thought gone into the creation.

Wish I now recorded it, but saw an arty documentary about 10 years ago on TV, completely dedicated to street art in Amsterdam.

Loving all the pics people are posting

I would say there's enough of us on here to start something like that

@gix yes there are better murals but do you recall the virus I had??? I have others on my old laptop which is 10 years old and doesn't like being booted up anymore

and what can I say about your contribution...
