For Your Viewing Pleasure

In case you are home alone, for whatever reason on this 4th of July weekend, while all your friends and relatives are out basking in the sun or barbecuing, I have put together a list of links to keep you entertained. Perhaps your interest is peeked by a particular artist as some of the sites show work artists have done around the globe, so you can feel like you took a trip without leaving your couch. Hopefully these links will motivate you to get out in search of some undiscovered street art in your own hood.  

Global Street Art

As a follow up to my last post, I wanted to share a link from globalstreetart.com, which features an extensive gallery collection on the work of Fumeroism; it contains approximately 89 images of work he has done in different parts of the world. By clicking on each image, you will get information on the piece such as location and the date it was created. This site has broken down the navigation based on location, so you can see some of the work displayed in places such as London, Manila, Bordeux, Tel Aviv, among many others. Very cool site, it's like a vacation without leaving home. 

Streetsy

Streetsy.com allows amateur photographers or artists to upload pictures of street art they come across within their communities. When a picture is uploaded, it should contain the artist's name (if known), location, and why they think the piece is important. Artists can also promote their work on this site. This site allows us to travel to lesser known parts of the world where street art is being displayed, but probably would never get the exposure. It's thanks to sites like streetsy.com that we can enjoy these visual treats. 

Get started browsing these two links as they have ample content to explore. I will try to keep this list updated as I come across sites worth sharing.
