I have never done one of these discussions, but i have seen so much amazing and captivating street art lately i wanted everyone to show off their work here. here are some of mine to start.
@asrai OH WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! you got some real winners here. I really think we should put a book together with everyones street art. it would be soo cool..your second shot is astounding!
Wow all these are great!! Love them! Here are a couple of mine from Bristol. I'm sure there will be plenty more to come as there's so much amazing street art here.
Took a few at a little exhibition Banksy and some other sorts put on in a disused train tunnel in London a couple years back. Only uploaded them to FB, sadly.
@eyebrows i know there is a a way to add a non 365 photo that you took on here. those are insane...especially the black face in the hoody..and shit hole..omg..classic if we end up making a book here..you gotta get us your shots..
@robinwarner While I don't necessarily condone graffiti, some of the art work here is amazing (I faved your first picture above several weeks ago). It's really too bad that some of these talented people have to resort to painting buildings, underpasses, etc., when they could be employed as a graphic artist somewhere and be making some really good money.
@robinwarner@angievega ~ So I'm driving home from my mountain bike ride today and just as I'm passing a local small plane airport (Santa Monica Airport) I'm watching this twin engine coming in for a landing and right there along the sidewalk was a fence with this INCREDIBLE piece of graffiti art memorializing somebody who had died there recently..... there's my shot!! Just waiting for the sun to be closer to "golden light" time instead of directly overhead ruin my picture position..... Hold tight sista's, my contribution is in the works!
@eyebrows you've just cleared up a mystery for me! I looked at your FB album.. and recognised something I had seen in Brighton a few years ago, and photographed. Now I know the artists name (Orticanoodles) which makes me happy :) I did think it might have been a Banksy at the time...never mind. One day I will see one....!!
@robinwarner I'm lovin' this thread Robin...and I spotted a great one on my way to the Dr. today....but was running late and couldn't stop. I'm hoping to make is back by at some point this week to capture it.!!
this one captured in Naples, Italy is a FAVE of mine as it was the first time I ahve seen POPEYE & CO used in a Street Graffiti...
and here's a latest find:
@dougi555 alan...all you do is go to the 365 page where you posted the photo and coy and paste the link from the box on the right side that says share. come back to this page and paste it in the post reply box. you can write a note above the link. then press post reply
Fabulous finds everyone! I have taken a lot but I only have two on my project. The City of Detroit took an old railway line and created a greenway walking/biking trail and left all of the old graffiti on the cement walls. This first one though is down near an old train depot where I love to shoot.
wow you lot have nice street art ... all we have in my town is illiterate folks just about managing to write their name in paint, if there is much else written its always spelt wrong !
Here's another of mine. Not strictly taken in a street but is outdoor art. Tourists, locals and visitors paint the rocks on the local breakwater at nearby Port Macquarie and some of them are very artistic.
THANKS so much for sharing all of these!!!! I actually just saw a very interesting movie this weekend about Graphic Street Artists - "Exit Through the Gift Shop" .... I would recommend it :)
I was driving past this to take a pic for something else, I knew I was gonna take a picture of it when I returned back past it. That street light adds a real attitude

I'm totally amazed at what people can do with spray cans and short time intervals. @robinwarner thanks for doing this thread!
Some highlights from my Facebook album, just to tease (they all link back to the root album page)
AWESOME thread by the way
Here's a few more I've snapped over the last year and a quarter... Including a Banksy

Leake Street:
Southwark:
Sad thing about this area is they are starting to clear i up and I'm pretty sure they may knock it down soon =/
Google has created a site where you can use their "street view" maps to tag images of street art you have seen.

My first . . .
and this one was in Chinatown in Honolulu, HI. It reminded me of my daughter's art:
I am going to have to make a trip down to Deep Ellum to see what is still there.
I love seeing Taking pictures of Graffiti :D
Here's mine to add - love these but have no idea who does them - they just appeared all over town and they're all different faces!!
