Traveling around the world I enjoy walking around exploring the neighborhoods of my temporary location. Graffiti and street art always catches my eye.
In Buenos Aires I stayed in the Palermo Soho neighborhood and walked throughout the neighborhood, there was plenty of creative graffiti in the area.
Rio de Janeiro has some phenomenal graffiti artists – I passed by this wall in the Ipanema neighborhood every day on my way to the Copacabana beach.
On South Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas this one always makes me smile!
In the historic Casco Viejo neighborhood of Panama there was construction everywhere so it was a nice surprise to come across a little gallery of graffiti along one of the streets.
Near Beijing on the Great Wall of China there is even graffiti
Sometimes graffiti offers criticism or advice
Montreal Quebec hosts a Graffiti Festival every year in August around the middle of the month.
Mexico City street art in black and white near the La Condesa neighborhood where I rented an apartment for eight days.
Visiting Mexico City by myself turned into a great vacation, during Thanksgiving weekend so the weather didn’t get too cold except for one day.
Barcelona graffiti poem in La Ribera district – Art is Life. One of my favorite cities to visit in Europe, lots of great architecture and street art in Barcelona.
You found some nice looking graffiti to photograph. I was so surprised to see so much ugly graffiti in Milan. I guess being born in East Los Angeles I just assumed the U.S. was the mecca for these artists and that it hadn’t gone viral. I can be a bit naive at times…
Banksy is probably the most well known graffiti artist in the world and he is from the UK. Graffiti lives all around the world – I hope to see some in Barcelona soon!
Amazing art work throughout the world.
Love the Great Wall Graffiti.
Thank you! Wish I could read what it says!
That is some GREAT graffiti.

Yes, there is some outstanding work to be seen out in the streets.
What a collection you have and such attractive graffiti. Loved the one from Rio.
brilliant graffiti. I am especially partial to Never Give Up and I love you so much!
What a variety. Pacman at the bottom is great.
That is some cool street art!!
We used to live in a place where the view from our bedroom window was of a public wall that people were allowed to graffiti on. It was amazing!!
That would be great, I would love that! An ever changing canvas right outside your window. When I was in art school many years ago we had a ‘graffiti stairwell’ that was a constantly reworked canvas.
