Street art, Digbeth.

Digbeth in Birmingham is home to lots of awesome street art and graffiti.  It's also home to a seasonal market with lots of yummy food, which is why I find myself wandering through there fairly often. 

I love to see the new street art, and I always visit my old favourite (this huge, beautiful piece just through a gate on Floodgate Street).

These were my favourites this time, there was so much new stuff that I loved!

Do you have  interesting graffiti and street art where you are?

Street art and graffiti, Birmingham.

I spotted some cool street art in Birmingham this week, 

The last 2 photos are the side of the old Birmingham library building, it's currently being knocked down so this will probably be the last time I see it.

Birmingham Owl Trail, The Big Hoot.

We went to Birmingham last week, not realising that the city has been taken over by owls!

We didn't have an owl trail map, so we didn't get to see them all.

Here are my favourites,

This was THE BEST OWL MADE FROM MOSAICS OF RETRO CROCKERY!!!!!!

You can never have too many owls, I say!

Have you seen the Birmingham owls?

Street Art and Graffiti, Digbeth, Birmingham.

I went to an awesome little market in Birmingham last week, and saw some cool graffiti as I walked through Digbeth.

I love seeing all the street art whenever I go to a city, we only get boring tagging here (so far!).

Street Art and Graffiti, Cardiff.

Last week we popped to Cardiff, and I enjoyed spotting some lovely street art and graffiti while we were there,

 

The man with the accordion was my favourite!

Do you have any interesting street art where you are?

You can see more of my street art photos from Birmingham and Rio De Janeiro.

Street Art, Birmingham.

I was in Birmingham this afternoon (to see Wicked, which was so so good!) and snapped a few photos of some street art I spotted around the China Town/ Gay Village area of the city.

I love street art, do you?

Rio de Janeiro 2014, Street Art and Graffiti.

There's lots of pretty and colourful graffiti in Rio, these photos are of street art in the Santa Teresa area.

There was lots of amazing street art in the city centre, but I didn't take photos.  As I was in Rio during a time of strikes and protests and I obviously look like a foreigner, I took the advice of my friend's Brazilian husband and didn't take my camera out on the street.  I'm not normally nervous about that kind of thing (I always think I'm just as likely to get mugged in my home town as in a foreign city), I don't feel like anything bad would have happened to me if I had been overly touristy, but I didn't want to take the risk.  

This isn't street art, but a little painting my friend did for me the morning before I left.  

Isn't she so clever.  It only took her about an hour!

Valencia Graffiti...

I've been inspired by Mangocheeks post with gorgeous photos of graffiti to share some of my own. Many moons ago I lived in Valencia (Spain) for a few months where there was much lovely graffiti in the area I walked through each day to get to the main part of the city...here are some pictures of some of my favorites...
