Muddyfunkster: A Word to the Unwise

Some people love it, some people loathe it. No, I’m not talking about whatever reality pop-idol remake is out at the minute – I’m talking about street art / graffiti / vandalism*. Personally, if it’s done well then I think it’s amazing, you have to admire someone who can great such colourful and imaginative works of art with just a few cans and not much time. I’ve found two sites that track street art in and around Edinburgh (and Glasgow), they are great for taking a second look at the ones you pass in the street and finding out more about what’s behind them – how they were done and what the mean.

banksy - very funny, often offensive but still makes you think
Duncan Cumming's full set - same as before, but he goes all over

Oh, and just in case you don’t like that sort of street art, here’s some Street Photography instead (from Edinburgh and elsewhere).
