@selectedgrub Would you happen to know if any of these artists have 'formal' training? I'm guessing some must have.

Not many, most claim to be self taught.

Not getting alerts for this thread, for some reason.

keep it up @selectedgrub , I like most of it, not all, admittedly.

Generally speaking, I like the majority of graffiti art, which can certainly brighten up an otherwise dull street scene.

Here are are some examples from the Cheltenham 2020 festival of paint:

Nantes is one of my bucket list places to visit, to see the steampunk elephant, the sea serpent skeleton and all the other sculptures. :thumbup:

Absolutely amazing place, well worth a visit, the scale, imagination and execution of each project is breath taking.

Ooh, that's good to know. I've got a holiday booked in the Loire valley coming up soon so I might have to drive through Nantes on the way and have a butchers.

These are all from Athens a few years ago

It was quite a shock seeing how rough Athens was, my first visit to a foreign city. We arrived about 10 at night, the landrover was on the walk up to our hotel and it was a bit depressing. Then we opened the curtains in our room and saw the Parthenon all lit up and it changed everything, the next day I went out and bought my first proper camera.
