little things on Barcelona walls
Barcelona Spain, April 2018,
pasteups, stickers, stencils and other little pieces of graffiti.
below: The green creature (with Ore on its tail) seems to want to eat the heart. The tiger appears on walls in many Spanish cities although sometimes he’s just a black and white head. He’s the creation of Bloo. Last, an orange crab with eye lashes on one eye.
below: RAF Urban, young boy
below: Another face, this time a woman looking up. She’s not quite obscured by the paint around her.
below: Pointed
below: “Lo importante esta en tu cabeza” on empty cans. As it turns out, this the name of an album by the group La Gran Orquesta Republicana. Rough translation is: The important is in your head.
below: More cans on walls. This time they say “mensajes de amor en tiemps de guerra, mensajes de paz con la mente guerrera”. [messages of love in times of war, messages of peace with the warrior mind]. This can art is the work of an anonymous couple. Many examples of their work can be seen on instagram with the hashtag #llaunesbcn
below: Funny Bone and a little hairy chested, hat wearing, tattooed fellow with love on his tummy (or lower).
below: Güelcom was an Argentinian movie, a romcom from 2011. Because of my poor Spanish as well as the rip in the paper, I can’t tell what the second word is.
below: A black and white paste up.
below: Mowcka “uniendo tus partes” and others
below: Very, very with symmetry, as a red rose lies on the sidewalk.
below: Smile! Anthropomorphic rabbit photographer in blue
… and red
below: somiatruites, Catalan for daydreamer
below: Utility box. JERC = Joventuts d’Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (Young Republican Left of Catalonia). They support independence for Catalonia which is the part of Spain that includes Barcelona.
below: The Hulk. Even he is locked out.
below: Watering can and plant pot faces.
below: Another collection of small paste ups on a wall. There’s that tiger again. A blue unicorn and a very large insect share the upper left corner. That little black and white figure in the bottom left is a flying peanut, a character by Hadsawit that really gets around.
below: The Raven, or at least a large black bird
around Jewell station
Jewell train station is on the Upfield line in Brunswick. The Upfield Bikeway path runs alongside the tracks at this point. Most of the walls along the bike path have street art on them. This is a selection of the graffiti that I saw around Jewell station and south from there to Park street.
