back to penang

not always easy to find more than your typical tourist street art in penang but found a few gems of malay street art & penang graffiti during a quick wander before my friend’s wedding. amazing range here from beaututiful freestyle street art to very clearly politically motivated graffiti (stencil and freestyle) reflecting some of the current tensions in malaysia — even in the sleepy seaside island.

actual sg graffiti

rarely do you see actually graffiti in singapore, & more rarely of the bit you do see is it ever freestyle. clearly someone in river valley is a risk taker.

   
 

more than caving

was in kuching for a weekend of caving. stumbled on a great restaurant down a tiny ally next to bishop’s gate, which also sported an amazing assortment of graffiti. sadly the bar didn’t have any info about who lent their paint cans to this. can still enjoy the freestyle skills though.  

  
                   

bit of bali

not a bad graffiti / bali wall art spot & shoot from a back of a scooter. hoping to find more good stuff next trip.

 

a dangerous run

someone posted this bit of stencil work on my usual singapore running path. guessing they feel the same way about running as i do. 

  

another hong kong weekend, another hk graffiti shoot

welcome to singapore (graffiti)

i recently moved to singapore where sadly i assume i’ll find far less (interesting) graffiti. that said, i’m off to a good start though with these. if you know of any place in sing for me to check out with good graffiti though, let me know! singapore graffiti - face singapore graffiti - pourlove the pixilated graffti can here!

hanging around

taikoo shing has far edgier artwork outside than inside. guessing the curators didn’t plan on this piece of hong kong graffiti.
