New Zealand just had some really fun street art!

I'm always a sucker for some arcade love. Auckland, NZ

Nelson, NZ

This was actually in the courtyard of my FAVORITE vegetarian joint in Nelson, East St Vegetarian Cafe.

My favorites from Wellington

Wicked Campers

This company had a great sense of humor and I wish I had captured all the vans we saw. Awesome.

Bulls, NZ

The little towns in New Zealand generally take up different "themes" that all the business work together on to give each place a little character. The town of Bulls really takes it on from business names to artwork around town. I love puns and Constabull is my favorite. The rest doesn't really count as street art but I didn't have anywhere else good to put it.

Street Art

I've always enjoyed graffiti. The ever changing feel it gives to an area can add a beautiful quality to otherwise drab buildings and bridges. It can also give you a quick feel for what kinds of feelings and emotions are going on with youth in a city.

While I recognize that this type of art isn't always desirable in the world (and is sometimes put on inappropriate places like historical sights or meant to do damage for nothing but some terrible squiggles on a new building) I can't help but view these temporary pieces of art and try to absorb all I can. I like to take pictures so I can look back and see something I missed the first time I took a peek. These are some of my favorite pieces.
