Traditional urban art faces

The large, colourful mural below is something I’ve photographed before, as the artwork’s faces and frowns work especially well when combined with passing pedestrians. This previously shot photo of matching expressions is probably as good as I’ll get, but the sheer size and unusual nature of the painting makes further efforts hard to resist. So this is attempt number two, with eye-contact of sorts and the welcome addition of a colour coordinated shirt.

    This is such a cool piece of art. I really like the colors. The guy’s shirt too! 🙂

      Likewise. Amazing how it has completely transformed an otherwise dull and grey underpass.

    Very colorful. I like how they seem to be looking at each other!

      Yeah, I do like how the man seems to be looking upwards, and the face is looking intensely back down at him.
