Being such a lover of street art, how fortunate is it, that we now live nearby two youth- and skate-parks filled with graffiti?! I was familiar with the biggest one of the two: the combined Scape and Youth Park, centers for youth and youth activities. I blogged about the murals there a couple of years ago. The nice […]
Georgetown Steel Rod Sculptures
There is more to see on Georgetown’s walls then the fabulous mural paintings that I showed you here and here. Througout the city center you find steel rod sculptures like this one: So what’s the story? The Steel Rod Sculptures are caricatures, placed on historic places in Georgetown by KL based company Sculpture at Work. […]
Penang’s mural paintings. Part 2.
Let’s continue where we left of yesterday; Penang’s murals, today part 2. I already explained how this mural frenzy started in Penang. So today all we are gonna do, is check out some more pieces. Somehow there are many murals with cats. No idea why, but it’s fine with me, since I am a big […]
Penang’s mural paintings. Part 1.
The main reason most tourist travel to Penang is it’s famous street food. We are not adventurous eaters, especially not me. Besides that we do not feel the need to put ourselves at hygienic risks when traveling. Why risk getting sick and ruining your precious holidays? So we are probably the only tourists that ever visited […]
Mural Art @ Singapore River. Part 3.
This is my third and -for now- last article about the project MuralArt@Singapore River. (You can see the other ones here and here.)

Here is another one: These pics were taken some months ago, so I am not sure wether this series is still there or wether it has been taken down already. Does anyone know? Which series […]

I also shared images of the street art that I ran into randomly while exploring Hong Kong. When I was at Above Second I asked the gallery staff where to find more street art in […]
Street art encounters in Hong Kong

As you can see there are different styles and techniques used: stencil art, sticker art, spray paint art, B&W, color, small, […]
Street art in Hong Kong: Neon Golden
Friends and loyal readers know how much I love street art. I wrote articles about it here, here, here and here. (In fact, I have written some more articles about street art and murals. Just type these words in the searchengine in the right side bar of my blog and they will pop up for […]
Mural Art @ Singapore River
After four posts about fashion, it’s time for something else: art. Street art to be precise. In Singapore graffiti, street art and murals are illegal. Unless commissioned, of course. Spontaneity, improvisation and bottom-up initiatives are not really promoted or appreciated by the government. As a consequence there are not a lot of murals to be found. But for […]
