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.

Midtown, Manhattan.

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.

Belgrade, Serbia.

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.

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.

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.
