Adventures in urban art
I've decided to share one of the slightly bigger pieces from Lisbon this week and take a short break from the smaller more centrally located street art I've shared previously. This piece, as I'm sure you've already figured out is by one of the biggest names in street art right now - Portuguese artist Bordalo II.... Continue Reading →
Part two of my series about abandoned tobacco factory turned creative centre - La Tabacalera - features this stunning collaborative piece between Sabek, Koctel and Malaysian artist Kenji Chai. Anyone who knows me knows that bright cartoon style pieces immediately attract my attention and have me walking off mid-conversation to have a closer look and get some photos, sorry...

This weeks Wednesday wall was an easy choice... I mean just look at it, it's a beast! This is what legal walls should look like! The wall is a collaborative effort by the trifecta of Erase, Saturno and Cristian Blanxer. Bulgarian artist Erase is one of those artists who's work I feel I know but in reality I've only...

This month saw local art organisation Wallspot hold their annual paint jam 'Hit the Wall' at Barcelona's famed legal graffiti spot - Tres Xemeneies. The event featured over twenty of Barcelona's finest artists who got together to brave the rain and wind to takeover the park and fill it to the brim with their creative work. I'm...
