Adventures in urban art
This week's Wednesday wall features the work of an artist who's pieces always get me on my feet and down to the wall as soon as I possibly can to get my shot before the inevitable buffing. I say that in full knowledge that I have just missed one of his latest pieces which was... Continue Reading →
Less is more is the motto of this piece by NSN997 Crew in the bowels of La Tabacalera. It was pretty hard to get good shots of this one due to the thin pathways in the basement so the piece doesn't stick out too well in the photos. However up close the piece features two smiling...

This weeks Wednesday wall is a bit different in that it's in one of my least visited locations within Barcelona and it's one of those spots I generally only go when I specifically know there is something I want to see there instead of just taking my chances. Plus the last time I was there... Continue Reading →
There really should be a law passed banning car parking in front of murals. If I was ever made street art czar that would be the first thing on my to do list. This piece by Aleksei Bordusov aka Aec Interesni Kazki was one of those random finds whilst ambling around Lisbon on the Saturday... Continue Reading →
As you can see even with my shocking photography skills on display, Cranio Artes graced La Tabacalera with two smalls works in the basement. Now regarding the photography here, in my defence my battery was almost out and we were heading out of La Tabacalera with some friends to go for some food and we were on... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I've seen the work of Ru8icon1 on the streets of Barcelona as the artist has been incredibly busy painting up a storm in the states, mainly New Jersey and Philadelphia. I actually think he might split his time equally between Philly and Barna which is maybe why he's here a little... Continue Reading →
On my first day in Lisbon I got up at 7am (not unusual these days, must be getting old) and got myself on a bus and then a train and went to visit an area called Quinta do Mocha to go on what I thought would be a short-ish street art tour. Instead I spent... Continue Reading →
This is another slightly older piece from the outside walls of La Tabacalera, from late 2016 I believe. It's by the Portuguese artist Diogo Machado aka Add Fuel. The piece is called 'Flipped' and was done for Muros Tabacalera. It's pretty clear why the piece is named so with the armour wearing one eyed character hanging upside... Continue Reading →
French artist Lele recently paid a visit to Barcelona and I can imagine from his productivity on the streets that he didn't see a lot of the tourist attractions! Lele is yet another artist who's work I was unaware of until it popped up on my Instagram screen one evening. The next night after work... Continue Reading →
This piece was one of the first that I saw when I arrived in Lisbon, I stumbled across it whilst searching for my hotel on the Friday night and made a point of coming back to see it in better lighting the following morning. Of course in the morning the sun was behind the piece... Continue Reading →
