Street Fair

Say what you will about graffiti. It's dirty, ugly, rude, degrading, illegal. Yes. Sometimes. But it's also raw and expressive and interesting. It can be inspiring if you look at it for the art it is.























Lisbon: crazy cartoon characters in bright colors were prevalent.














Retro style: graffiti made of tiles in Paris























And graffiti as advertising? Yes. This is for a trolley tour around the city of Lisbon. I've seen more and more of this lately. It has a cool look, but I'm not sure how I feel about advertising invading this form of art and expression.
