It may have something to do with the bit of depressive state I'm in right now. I spent 40 days in Russia and I had to leave. I left for a while because my Visa expired and I was waiting for the government to make the official announcement that Fan ID holders can come and go as they please in Russia.
The announcement came and I can finally go back but I may have to wait a few more days to go back. In the meantime I miss Russia so much I can't bare to write about this beautiful country, so I decided to use my previous pictures.
To get to Russia I had to fly from Cancun to London and I took the chance to explore the city. I'm not gonna post the regular content 99% of tourists in London post about. No London eye, Westminster, Buckingham palace or stuff like that.
Instead, I decided to explore the indie/alternative side of London and I found some kick ass street art along my way.
This was very refreshing because believe it or not, o couldn't find much street art in any major Russian city - or perhaps I didn't explore the cities as I should have - and you know how much I love street art, so finding these graffiti and paintings on the walls had me smiling for the whole day.
Here you can see what I found:
As you can see, the art is amazing. I really wish some of the artists had signed their post with their Instagram username or something so we could follow them and try to repay their work with some advertisement revenue but oh well, I guess the sole images and having their art on the walls is enough for them.
I hope you enjoyed this little gallery and again, sorry for not posting Russian adventures :(
We are all work of Art.. Definitely this is pretty amazing. Art is one of my acquired skills and I love it...cos I live it !! .. Thanks for sharing this awesome pictures. You feed my eyes!!
London does have an awesome Graffiti scene! A lad who went to my University was a very talented street artist from London who now runs an outreach program encouraging street artisits from rough estates in London to understand how to market their street art to make a living from commissions and collaborative works with the mainstream. He once told me he knew banksy but I'm not sure if he was taking the piss out of me lol
These are some awesome pictures of street art Eric. Fantastic stuff!
Wow, the street art is really amazing. how I wish I can be there to see it for real instead of just photos. And i agree with you about the tourisy spots.... It's these hidden gems that make the trips worthwhile. I too like to go to gems that only the locals know about and not some commercialize place.
Wow, those are the real arts!! We don't have many street arts in Korea as well...! Is there a lot of street arts in México?
Yes!! I actually posted around 200 street art pictures from Mexico a year ago, I guess it would be awesome to have a feature on steemit that would allow people to browse tags in one person's blog, that way I could find them in two minutes instead of going all the way down through 300 posts :(
I can imagine Korea being very tidy and clean with no street art :(
Hey, are you going to Steemfest? Check out the tag #roadtosteemfest
where and when is steamfest?
Poland in november.
I love street art, yea, I remember in London there's a lot of them, in Brick Lane, for example :D
I have no idea where I was I just asked on the streets to people who seemed to like this stuff to point me in the general direction of stuff like this... And it turned out great!
That's the best way to get around but many people seem to forget this lol.
London is one place i really wanna visit next year. if only those artist knows about steemit. but do we have a community that appreciates cool arts content like these?
I've been playing with that idea for a long time, I have some ideas to bring more artists to the platform. I hope I can get my ass to do it.
Just get someone who's passionate about such things and make the work easier for you while you monitor, else it will keep lingering
Wow amazing, well I guess 40 days enjoying the thrills of Russia was amazing, I'm sorry about your visa issues but well at least here you are in London, I guess you're planing to finally return to Mexico after London yes?
This art are awesomely done my friend I suppose the artists doesn't leave a phone number for people to contact them, that's how it's done iny country.
Amazing trip you're having Eric
The Jack Daniels art is so creative and well made! I also loved the third photo from the Jack Daniels photo, the white building sloshed with black paint. I can't imagine the effort it took to paint that, but at the same time, I can also imagine the creator having fun with it, haha!
Oh these are some really good examples. I loved the tiger especially.
I know some stencil artist myself who do painting on walls and sometimes they do write some info somewhere
You paint on the walls? Have you made a post about it? That´s something I would definitely vote on.
Not me personally, but i have friends in that sphere. Will try to get him here on Steemit for sure
You know I love this. Great art and some very talented artists! I don't have any issues with this whatsoever. It's a shame here in the States we have to look at garbage graffiti everywhere. I think our kids should actually try and create an image such as these but I'm sure it's from lack of talent....... I digress...........
beautiful photographs, for me, a good artist sees beauty where others only see simplicity, hence they can create these wonderful images and fill the environment with an almost unreal magic that allows us to dream ...
De verdad es impresionante ver cuanto abunda el buen arte en las calles.
El arte callejero nace como una expresión de protesta ante el mal llamado "buen arte", es una manera de decirle al mundo que ellos existen y que su trabajo es fascinante. De corazón te agradezco por compartir estas hermosas fotos con nosotros, y contarnos un poquito de tus vivencias en el antiguo continente.
Deseo como siempre que te vaya muy bien.
Saludos desde Venezuela, compadre.
Wow these are really cool, I loved this collection. I have been to London loads but these are definitely some amazing examples of street art, that Lion is insane. Also I hope you make it back to Russia.
I like that you presented us something different from London and not those places everyone is visiting. And let me tell you that I see pure art on the streets, I love that! :)
Estas perdonado! jijiji, hermosas fotografías, personalmente me encanta el arte, no sabía ni conocía que en londres existiera ese tipo de arte callejero, además de estar todas espectaculares. Por lo que veo ya estás bien del resfriado, y esperando tu regreso a Rusia te inspire para contarnos tus aventuras en ese país. Saludos
Sorry to hear about the Russian feels, man. I hope you get back there soon. I have a few close friends that go there once a year for Russian studies and they have similar feelings. One of my closest friends is moving there next year. Love seeing the street art in London. I'm working on a crypto-comic that takes place in London and a lot of the "typical" places you mentioned are backdrops for the story. It's great inspiration to see some of these unknown corners of the city. There's an entire plot exchange between the "centralized" boroughs surrounding the decentralized London. Some of these photos will surely inspire the good place to be. Safe travels, @anomadsoul! Me, @vermillionfox and @guthrie are off to LA and Vegas tomorrow traveling for the next 10 days!✈
Yo prefiero Londres a Rusia, hehe.
de acuerdo!
Jajaja noooo, no te metas con mi Rusia <3 lol
Excellent
There are lots of extraordinary artists exist.

Muy buenas fotos, sin duda expresan el arte. No se necesita plasmar en lienzo para ser hermoso. saludos @anomadsoul.
I read with interest about your impressions of the World Cup. When will you once again go to Russia?
Woowwww these arts are so beautiful. Sure you're having fun @anomadasoul

Oh, that's so great! Such beautiful graffiti!
Como dirían en mi tierra natal, que molleja de bonita esa chiiico!!!, realmente impresionante, me pregunto si cada pintura se identifica con alguna historia de la calle o es solo arte urbano?
As they would say in my native land, what a beautiful gizzard that Shi'ite!!!!, really impressive, I wonder if each painting is identified with some street history or is it just urban art?
En realidad mi percepción es que todo el arte urbano tiene algo de influencia tanto de otros artistas como de la vida misma en las calles y en la ciudad, yo estoy casi seguro que todo arte como este tiene una historia detrás. Gracias por tu comentario!
I love street art! Growing up in Tel Aviv made me appreciate this type of art. It sure adds character to the city.
P.S You still didn't reveal where you traveled to while waiting for your visa..
Hey! so amazing to see you are still active on Steemit, I´m really glad to see you :)
Oh I´m not going to reveal that, not until I go back to Russia ;)
I always was active, but lately, I decided I should be more active.
Now I'm even more curious, LOL
Wow, in London they have an amazing streer art artistic's. Great pictures🤗
They sure have incredible street art! And these are just the best ones, I took at least 50 more pictures.
Good, show them all, please
I love how happy that first guy is about his hair being on fire. Pretty cool stuff!
Kind of Ghost Rider huh? lol
Amazing
Amazing post! Love these photos!
I went to London almost 10 years ago,,, I miss the culture, art and royal English!!!
Oh ten years is too much, are you planning on going again?
Yes, 10 years is too much. I want to go there if I have time and money, or the price of Steemit flys to the moon.
aye these pics are amazing, we need to find these artist immediately
“Hi, I have an infomation might interest some of you. There is a new art sharing platform that rewards users for sharing their creation, there is also regular contests organized over there. Here are some more infos : http://www.artisteem.com/artisteem_intro?lang=en”
Wow, thanks for the info, I will check it out, it sounds like a great initiative.
Never is enough art! You just made one of my fantasies come true.. seeing a Hulk graffiti!
Looks stunning! Way better than some "modern art" that is sold for thousands of $ in my opinion :)
The tiger looks like a WWF ad, though :D
Oh right on brother, this art is trully amazing wheres in my opinion, modern art is just garbage ¯_(ツ)_/¯
this makes me want to go back to Londoon so badly! I'd love to come back and do a mural
Do you do murals?
