More SoMa and Mission, San Francisco

Revisiting some known spots and discovering some new ones!   Oddjob… and the delightful Standing Room Only mixology bar. We used to pass this building almost every day. I did not discover the cocktails of delight inside until my last weeks in SF. http://oddjobsf.com/#sro-section                

More San Francisco in the Sun

A friend came to visit, so naturally we had to explore some of the cool street art spots around the different areas in San Francisco. Not many photos though… I love visiting, viewing and sharing street art with friends, but when it comes to taking photos I really enjoy being on my own so I…

First Explorations in San Francisco, California

The streets of San Francisco are a delight to explore. An explosion of colours, styles and messages to be shared. It seriously does cost an arm and a leg     Haight Ashbury                        

Exploring the streets of Paris

Another trip to Paris, another chance to wander the streets and hunt out space invaders, gzup’s octopi, dancing girls, and all the interesting stencils and paste-ups adorning the beige buildings of this fascinating city.          

Garda Graffiti

Wandering among vineyards and tiny villages I didn’t see much street art during our speedy weekend trip to Lake Garda, but as usual I was keeping an eye out. I was pleased to spot a few pieces of graffiti so Lake Garda at least qualifies for a mention here. Coolest caravan in town…   Down…

A smattering of graffiti in snowy France

I was surprised to spot a few bit of graffiti and street art while visiting a friend for an Easter snowboarding weekend. A few pieces of artwork adorning the Saint-Jean-d’Aulps Graffiti on the slopes!   This isn’t particularly great, but this was on our way home when we stopped in “Anthy.” So it’s worth preserving…

Hi-de-hi from Heidelberg

I finally made it to Heidelberg, it’s been on my “to do” list for years. I was treated to plenty of railway graffiti views during the train ride there from Munich and thanks to a helpful website I was also able to find some hot spots of spraying in this beautiful city. We also happened…

More Vienna and the colourful canal

After seeing some of the canal by night it was great to go back the following morning and see even more in the daylight (though unfortunately not SUNlight). As well as the massive walls and paintings there are lots of little stencils and stickers if you look closer. I started noticing lots of pieces by…

Vienna and the Donaukanal by night

With just a short amount of free time in Vienna I was thrilled to be able to get a glimpse of the street art scene by exploring up and down the Donaukanal (Danube Canal) by night and by day (well, a freezing cold and wet morning). The art of the walls seemed to stretch further…

Some painted walls in New Zealand

I didn’t see a lot of street art or graffiti art on my trip home to NZ. There seeems to be a lot of comissioned, mural-type pieces, which is lovely to see, but I do also appreciate the more chaotic and colourful (and often more emotional or political) nature of random street art. I bet…
