I've noticed I easily get stuck in my routines doing the same things over and over, so when I got back from my travels I decided to put a conscious effort into having exploratory walks in other neighborhoods in Portland. One of my favorite things to do while traveling is taking long walks without any purpose or expectations. I want to continue this now that I'm back in my routine. I always find visual eye candy along the way like this really cool graffiti spotted on Belmont St. I'm pretty sure Jesse Reno and Charlie Alan Kraft created this street art. I just love seeing little details like this on the sidewalk of Belmont St. It makes me happy.
Most of HK is clean, but there is lots of fun graffiti in the alley ways. Actually there are also a lot of interesting objects and activities happening in the alley way if you are brave enough to explore. Most of these were found in Mong Kok.
This is just a very small sample of the graffiti I've seen here in the San Telmo area. There is something going on with the eyes, don't you think? I haven't been able to take a lot of pictures becuase it make me stand out as a tourist, but I hope you enjoy!
Anna James, an artist in London, makes beautiful pieces of custom art out of twentieth century furniture. I like the juxtaposition of formal furniture graffiti.
