Always been a fan of Popeye, more for his message rather than the inane cartoon. The smoke coming out of his pipe is a great subtle touch. This piece on the side of a truck. Are delivery trucks the new subway cars for graffiti artists?

An interesting stencil of a crooked pig (mask, stripes) holding what I think is an axe across his shoulders.

Not sure if this grumpy character is a demon or a bulldog, but I like it. Classic notches in the eyes add to the personality.

I love the economy of saying, “let’s all use the same colors” to paint this wall. Recently painted over by the building owners.

Found on a nice white delivery truck, this lettering piece looks quick but still well thought out. The outlined rectangles draw my eye, but I’m not sure I like them. And that tension is probably a good thing.

One more from the travels of our foreign correspondent, @hopemanbob. Based on all the tags and graffiti added to the face, I’d guess this painting is at a bus stop. None of this deters from the cartoon illustration style which is somehow recognizable. The eyes have wonderful shading.

While the title may say it all, there’s a ton of detail in this piece including the highlights, shadowing, the cracks and of course, the umlaut.
