Wonderful detail in this street mural full of pathos and hope.  The wing breaking out of the frame is a great, subtle touch.

Vienna, Austria.

So many great details in this piece. From the little heart lock on her lapel, the key in her hand, her Cubist inspired open eye, the heart tattoo on his arm to the tear on his cheek. Somehow the whole story is there to read.

This small, one inch circular glass cabochon was nearly invisible stuck to the side of a giant steel girder. Finding the small in large places.

Hudson Yards, Manhattan.

Cheers to the intrepid soul who stuck googly eyes to the window display of this high end watch store. The display is commemorating Omega’s part in the Apollo 11 moon landing 50 years ago and features two large gold astronaut statues. These eyes just appeared one quiet morning. Hard to accomplish given the CCTV surveillance “security” paranoia that surrounds us these days.

Nothing against Omega, but I love adding this whimsy to the face of all the opulent wealth on display. Given the rampant unattainable commercialism that threatens to drown the average citizen of this city, we need fight back with more humor.

Alas, the eyes were quickly removed.

One good idea (or poster placement) often leads to another as seen in this series from artists such as ENX, Invader and Cost.

A large colorful mural with interesting typography from this artist.

An interesting combo between the pattern wallpaper and the tag on top. If you leave it on the sidewalk, chances are it’s going to get tagged!
