Good night, Street Art Lovers!
This is my entry for the CCC's Street Art Contest #6, hosted by @digi-me.
I saw this mural one night, while wandering aimlessly around the streets of Riga. The drawing appeared to be quite old and was beaten up a little bit. There were some scribbles over it, done by some wannabe artists or drunken kids but it still had its charm.
Above the mural I could read "Mākslinieku Piederumi", which, according to Google means "Artist's Accessories". I guess this wall belonged to a shop directed to artists or something like it.
Here's another angle of the whole piece.
I don't remember its exactly location despite some of the clues available in the photos...
I can see a sign reading Apavu Remonts which translates to Shoe Repair... and that's about it. An Artist's Acessories Shop near a Shoe Repair somewhere in the middle of Riga... it doesn't narrow it down very much, does it?
I tried to look for it to accurately pinpoint this post on Pinmapple but my guess is probably way off... it looks like my detective skills aren't up to par. 🧐
I hope you enjoy this mural and my photos, even though the lighting was not the best. It was quite dark, after all! The flash helped a bit and the photos didn't came out too bad. I think.

Nice, i like that old street art / advrets 😍
Yeah, me too. They're great!
You've definitely been to your share of off-the-beaten-path places. I've always had some interest in Latvia, but now with a Cambodian family, visa difficulties prevent most European-ish destinations due to visa difficulties.
With all of these weird new COVID-19 regulations and visa difficulties, we've compiled a list of countries our mixed-nationality family with no formal education can go to in the near-future - Mauritius, Bangladesh and Timor Leste.
I'm routing for Bangladesh personally, and my phone call with Bangladesh Emabssy the other day gave me hope that within the next month a path might be cleared.
With the way things are now, I'd be happy if I'm allowed to visit Spain! 😂
How do you find al of this street arts??
Mostly by accident just by roaming around the cities with no fixed goal. 😁
I don't know if I'd personally be walking around that late at night, and especially not there. The mural is a wonderful distraction from the dimly-lit street where I fear that I'd be robbed 😬
Oh, I walked for hours at night... and was never afraid of getting robbed. 😜
You are a brave soul 😄
I really like that graffiti, friend @trincowski
What an interesting find you had on that street.
Very good post
Happy day
Thanks a lot! It was a bit far from my hotel so I didn't return there during the day...
Yay!
