Street Art; alive and well

If I ever had the creativity and guts to fuse artwork into an urban landscape- I'd definitely do it while wearing a pair of classic blacked-out aviator fashion goggles. Or maybe steampunk-styled goggles. Both sound cool.

Steampunk goggles aside- Street art isn't just something that Bansky cooked up a few years back. It's spread around the globe and has been thriving for centuries. My personal favorites are the pieces that just freak you out in some way (I am a Surrealist fan haha). For instance, check out the one below:

I think I spent an hour and a half there just scrolling through street art photos. It makes me wish I had some kind of substantial artistic talent haha.
