That image of Chloe is there the longest that i remember. She was one of many victims of the Bali bombings

These are awesome! I am a fan of street art and love stumbling upon it when overseas. Some notable mentions are the John Lennon wall in Prague, Haight and Ashbury in San Francisco, and of course our own Melbourne.

Perhaps with these fantastic artworks, Sydney might become more popular with graffiti artists.

I have quite a few that need to be transferred over from my camera, but loving this new one in Christchurch.

If the car wasn't there, you would have no idea how big this is, wow!

I used to love the random street art in Berlin. This one is my favourite:

I was so annoyed that the car ruined what would have been an awesome photo. Massive carpark, the only car in it, and it had to be right in front of the artwork. Returned later in the day to get another shot sans-car.

Also really love this one:


There's some really great street art all around Christchurch at the moment. My favourite is a gorgeous ballerina, but unfortunately it now has a building going up in front of it...

This one's from a small village in Northeast Spain.
It's the eyes that drew me in...

If it's sanctioned by the owner of the 'canvas' then great it's not graffiti, but having my my own property painted on more than once I struggle with the idea of good graffiti as there was huge cost and effort to remove it.

"Street art" is probably the more appropriate term.
