Reminds me of some of the old towns that used to take up the whole side of a building for advertising. A kind of an art – those old logos.

yes the old logos were an art but this scenic stuff is far more appealing to me the advertising 🙂

Pretty awesome, too, that Lismore did this originally to promote beauty, and soon word spread, attracting tourists (and, of course, their money). That last part surely brings smiles at budget time.
Lismore encouraged beauty, an has been rewarded twofold. Encouraging to see good deeds rewarded.
Thanks for brightening the day, Kate, even from 10,000 miles away.

do hope that you have some street art to beautify your area Keith?

Not really, unless you count the stop sign one street over. That’s not very artistic, though, just teens writing something rude on it.
I’m sure there is art in the city around which our metro is built, but I have to schlep all the way into the city to see it!

These are amazing but do they make any income out of it?

these artists do … council got a grant and then paid them to do these, so they are commissioned murals not graffiti 🙂
Local council also gets grants to pay artists to do murals on our large silos and they too become popular tourist attractions. It breathes new life into areas most would have avoided without the art 🙂

I like street art. It not only covers boring places, but also conveys some thought. We have a name: mural. I admire murals, I value artists.

Wonderful examples. We’ve purposely in the past gone out to search out street art in Toronto and just awhile ago unexpectedly found an inspiring alleyway in a smaller community north of us the was WOW.
I believe in Toronto, the municipality puts out tenders for street artists(if that is a phrase) to undertake projects on underpasses and alike.
There was a CBC television program that recently finished a ten-year run, where the host did a political/social rant segment during each episode. It was done in a back alley in downtown Toronto that was much like the pics you’ve included. It ended up turning the alleyway into a tourist attraction.

these were commissioned by council for that very reason … it’s actually more popular than the scenic river walk ..
