Street Art - Around the Globe

Paris, France

This week I thought I would mix it up a bit.  We still have Paris and Madrid to share with you, but for now.... how about some street art from around the globe.  It always amazes me the creativity of humans, even when its against the law.  I hope you enjoy an alternative perspective on major cities on this colorful planet.

I find myself inspired each day with new artists and the freedom they find in expression.  It gives me courage... and a real taste of the nobility that artistic expression gives our world.  What would we be without these side streets?

Some art is an attempt to entertain, others to send a message. In college I wrote a paper about the Ancient cave paintings of Lascaux arguing that some of the work wasn't about hunting, or history, but that maybe some of the cave sketches were just art for art sake; this to me is the greatest of the street art, where the motive is lost to only the desire of expression.  Some of the art we have encountered has history.  The John Lennon Wall in Prague has been a message of peace for over 40 years.  Paris was covered in grafitti like I have not seen in any other city.  It was as if every turn you would find a new style, new color, new message.
