Romanian Street Art

In many cities there are creative people who want to make a statement. They might do it through performances (i.e. Improv Everywhere in New York), or through art pieces (i.e. Jeanne-Claude and Christo), or maybe dance (i.e. Step Up Revolution). {Hahaha! to that last one} However, if you are just an anxious amateur then you'll probably stick with graffiti.

Here are some pieces of "statements" that I've found around Bucharest, Romania:

Usually the signs say "Don't Park!", but this one says "Please Park!" (in Romanian, of course)

Even the renovated areas get vandalized immediately.

No building left un-graffitied.

Statues get marked [Day 1 - September 9th]

[Day 2 - September 10th]

Sometimes it looks like someone's sketch-work...

And sometimes you have to wonder if these people are bored while waiting for the train. (This is a metro platform.)

Even though this is a scary looking rabbit, it's actually a local cartoon character. 

People don't care that they make their mark on holy sites. (That's a church on the right.)

Actually I can see why people think it's ok to write on the bridge...

... the sidewalk makes it so easy!!!

This is on an apartment building facing a busy street. 

On a modern building that has yet to sign on new leasers. Hopefully this flower child will give them good luck. 

"School children who commute to"

Pandas! 

A political piece based on the careless use of gasoline

Faces with real emotion... 

... And bewilderment. Just like I am with all the graffiti.
