Roving reporter @hopemanbob is on the job sending this beautiful mural shot from the west coast. Gorgeous red in the background with a mighty good dog on guard. The big head is a nice cartoon touch. Reminds be a bit of this mascot. From the artists @illuminaries.
Oakland, California.
Here’s part of a larger mural and I’ll leave the description up to the artist (conveniently with a plaque!). I’m always in favor of more public art even if I find this piece a bit tame. And even if it comes with corporate sponsors. Bring on the color and chaos!
West Side, Manhattan.
The lettering in the speech bubble is great, a little bit of calligraphy in the hand written style. Having the woman’s eyes closed also brings emotion to this large piece.
West Side, Manhattan.
A large mural on a bridge overpass. Really like the color and modern abstract patterns. Not sure why we can’t paint everything in the city this way.

Another shot from our roving reporter, @hopemanbob. I really like that this large mural portrays both sides, the savior and the destroyer, full of both peace and war. The monotone color palette also really helps to emphasize this dichotomy.
Belgrade, Serbia.
Another find from our foreign correspondent @hopemanbob. This one is a large wall mural from artist Filip Letinu for a local bike rental company.
Bucharest, Romania.
Wonderful detail in this street mural full of pathos and hope. The wing breaking out of the frame is a great, subtle touch.
