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.

Reminds me of the old Disney/Hanna Barbera cartoon dogs, happy and bumbling. Obviously a rushed tag due to the very high profile location. Great color choices too.

Midtown, Manhattan.

Artist’s should sign their work and craftsmen and women are no different, which is why this piece caught my eye. It wasn’t just the large signature, but the stylized lettering that drew my attention. It’s that letter style that screams “graffiti” and not just “advertising” or “branding.” It’s also intriguing to think of all that lies within and under the surface of the places we inhabit. A hidden world, with hidden meaning and a hidden history just out of sight.

Hudson Yards, Manhattan.

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.

This piece may look small here, but it was actually over two feet across. I like the simplicity and it’s iconic, almost emoji immediacy. A character and an emotion, all contained in a few paint strokes.  What can you draw with three lines and two dots?

Midtown, Manhattan.

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.
