Graffiti in Iceland
I set my umbrella on the wall to take this photo, and I’m pretty sure I forgot to pick it up as I haven’t seen it since.

Marcus Haas mural in Berlin
Berlin Wall Memorial on Bernauer Street

30 years ago the Berlin Wall came down. Three years ago this memorial mural went up. Two years ago I took this photo.
Guanajuato graffiti
#guanajuato #mexico #dayofthedead #graffiti #accordion
I’m back in Guanajuato, Mexico for the first time in over five years. I won’t be here long enough to see the Day of the Dead festival, but Festival Internacional Cervantino (FIC) is raging right now. FIC has grown to become the most important international artistic and cultural event in Mexico and Latin America.
RONE’s mural in PDX
#MuralArtsMonth #RONE #MuraloftheWeek #Portland #StreetArtPortland #StreetArtChat
I love a good mural. They can look great in person but somewhat uninteresting in photos in my opinion. Therefore, I don’t tend to post my photos of murals. However, this one (corner of SW 12th and Washington in Portland, Oregon) is exceedingly cool for a few minutes each sunny day when the light hits it just right.
Skeleton graffiti
Guanajuato tunnel graffiti of a skeleton
There seems to be more “Day of the Dead” type graffiti, souvenirs, etc. in Guanajuato than in other parts of Mexico. Perhaps it is because of the mummies. In any event, graffiti of this nature in a dark tunnel provides extra impact.
Gwangju Art Street
Gwangju Street of Art (광주 예술의 거리)
Gwangju’s Street of Art is one of about five or six things listed in every guidebook as a thing to do while in Gwangju. Some of the reviews I saw on the internet were pretty mediocre. Saturdays are supposed to be the best days, and the second Saturday of the month is supposed to have extra events. So I went on the second Saturday to check it out. Little was happening, less than half the stores and galleries were open, and few people were around. Probably 10-20% of the stores were undergoing construction. Overall, it was disappointing. Maybe once all the construction is done it will be OK. As I headed away from the art area (toward Chungjangno or 충장로) I noticed this alley.
