GRAFFTI TAKEOVER

What are your thoughts on graffiti? 

No matter where you go in the world, there will always be 'art on the wall' and many different people have different views on whether this makes or breaks your city/town/location. 

However, when walking around London especially the East side, some of the artwork must have taken hours and really reflects this. These are some of my favourite picks from a short walk around...

Finding the heart of London is difficult when everyone seems to be running round and always having places to be and go. However, if you just stop to take a look and take in the living streets, you'll be pleasantly surprised. 

This is honestly one of my favourite photos that I have ever taken. The figure seen is just so strong and bold it really makes an impact, even if I don't know what it really represented to the original artist. 

Lastly, this graffiti is just SO well thought out and executed. I cannot even imagine how long it must have taken for the artist to have done each of the lines as well as the detailed faces and bodies. I also like the extension of the pig, as it brings a life of a whole different culture to the city streets of London. 

Thanks for taking a look, let me know your thoughts on graffiti!

cool, this is my fave graf artist from UK http://kelzo.com/

wow i really like that! I love how a flat wall can be made to look 3D!!

Really nice post. I think I'll advise some of my graffiti friends to be a part of Steemit :)

Although what you show in this post is mostly street art, not graffiti :)

i think most of the time they do overlap, most of the photos i captured from walking round involve bits of both.. these just happened to be my favourite bits I caught!

I really enjoy looking at these types of graffiti!
