It's All Greek To Me
Some readers might recall I spent a semester in Athens, Greece last fall. One of the things I really enjoyed about that city was the beautiful streetart that I would pass on my walk to school or in those little neighbors near my apartment that I would get lost in. I recently came across these creations by a Greek street-artist in Athens and they're taking me back. Of all the forms graffiti takes, these little nautical girls might just be the cutest.

Wow, these look surreal. At first I thought they were digitally drawn on the photos. But finding out they aren't just makes them that much better!
Haha...that's great!
i remember you posting the street art last year! it was all so neat. these are really really neat as well.
i ask again, why cant our graffiti be this beautiful/interesting?
Oh, graffiti was one of my favorite things about studying abroad. I started a collection in Sevilla, Spain. Lisbon, Portugal really blew my mind with its artists, though.
These are fabulous. I'm jealous that my city doesn't have such awesome street artists.
adorable :) i love street art! xx
This is the sweetest street art ever ! I love the colors and the little mermaid is so cute :)
those are GREAT ! i want to see art like this in my neighborhood (or live in greece ?). love the simplicity... here's one we've got in seattle, but there aren't enough of them yet... http://www.phinneywood.com/2008/08/23/by-henry-its-a-mural-on-8th/
They're so nice!
these are fantastic! i might be going to athens in a few weeks, so will have to take a close look.
love them.i wish i'll go in greek some day...
These are so cute :) I've only traveled to Greece on vacation, but I love it there. So much culture!
my god, has it been that long? i actually remember when you were there and what not. but yeah these have a certain magical essence about them.
Wow, these are truly amazing!!! Unreal, even! :D
street art is one of my fav things ever, these are awesome. super cute!
I remember your trip! It doesn't seem that long ago actually. I guess I'm a long time fan and didn't realize it.
how cute are these! what a great opportunity to spend time in greece!
oh wow! i was in athens for a bit this summer, but i unfortunately didn't see any of those girlies... i would have loved to, though! they're adorable! i did notice that the street art was particularly nice *note to self, put photos of athens street art on blog*
Wow! That's amazing!!
whoa, these are great!
this is so funny. One day a really cute little graffiti appeared in Brick Lane near my house in London and I would walk past it every day to get to uni. It looked exactly like these! I wonder if it was the same artist?
so cute ^^!

What GORGEOUS graffiti! The yellow, the cute little girls, against such ancient & beautiful architecture full of character, love it!

His tag is b. and you can see more of his work on myspace.com/thisismybworld
And he's an architect too, he graduated a bit earlier than me from Volos.
Wow, it's been a year?
So adorable! Especially the first two, the yellow is so cheery.

the street art in athens has always kept me looking around and going down alley ways whenever i go. there are so many interesting artists and pictures that i find myself going around taking pictures of walls all day! i've never seen these before but they are so cute and lively! they look like they're jumping off the wall!
is the LSATS from that movie..elle woods? LOL you becoming a lawyer?? =)
anyway i love the art and i wish i could go to greece...
These are so beautiful - they look like drawings on top of photos, they really stand out from the background! Must've been so wonderful to see things like this in person.
These are so bizarre (which I love), and, as a few others noted, look photoshopped. Very cool:)

Lovely! These remind me of stuff I saw in Valencia, Spain. Lots of very good, very cute graffiti characters :)
So cute! I love the one with the girl holding the number 77!
that street artist's really good. it's so different from what people do here in Paris, it's really vivid and joyful...

Gosh they're so beautiful! They pop out of the walls like they're an animated illustration.
this is possibly the best and loveliest street art i've ever seen. Wow!
