In the under pass leading to the beach in Oeiras, Portugal. Graffitti is encouraged, and I think this artist was paid. I saw them doing it with spray guns, it is more like a mural, really:
I really like the pictures, Sir Nose, especially the bull. I've seen some wonderful grafitti when travelling but recently I've really got into a British grafitti artist. My boyfriend is from Bristol and he took me to see the Banksy exhibition not long ago and it's REALLY interesting. His work is very clever, if anyone is ever in South West of England, I really recommend going to see it. Here's some of his work from around the city (the exhibition is in the museum and is much better, in my opinion)

I really like that clip FG, good find! The guys painting the train remind me of the quick work I saw those guys doing in Portugal. Great music too! Bucharest, Romania:
Thanks Sir Nose! I love your idea and your pictures are wonderful!! I first found this clip where one of the reigning groups got a key to the longest stations in Stockholm, brought ladders and graff'ed one of the 150 meter wall in 58 minutes during a "down-time" it was pretty impressive, but not too much fun to watch. I wanna see more!!!
This is really cool!! I'll try to find some pictures of what I saw round Portugal and Spain later. And I'll post some more Bansky stuff
Yes, Russia, definitley do that! Valencia again, one night last autumn when I was wandering through the bar district there:
Just... WOW!!!! amazing... I have relatives in Mainz, I need to go visit soon I see It has been too long.
Recently went to the ICA (Institute of Contempary Art) in Boston to see a fabulous Shepard Fairey exhibit. He is the guy who did the Obama HOPE painting. He is a wonderful grafitti artist. Here is a link that shows his outdor work in the Greater Bosotn area: http://www.icaboston.org/exhibitions/exhibit/fairey/outdoor/
