Near Sint Guido, I happened across this small street. Each house was decorated in tribute to a particular artist and painted in different colours.

I've got a couple more photos in my Flickr stream and I liked the Miro house.

Something strange, unusual and delightful when you least expect it. Wonderful Brussels!

hanging from wall mural

There are a great many murals around Brussels and there's even a tour you can take of them all (Info here and a map of the route). For a list of comic art in Brussels look here.

Personally I liked finding them by chance, each one becoming a surprise. Many of them really suit their location, like this one, and use it well. I've usually photographed them close up, but I think I'll go back and take more of them in context.

What a great way to enliven a city. This is why I tried to get one of the Art Cows for outside our house. Sadly this cultural delight was prohibited when my beloved vetoed the plan.

Unexpected facade art

I catched this today, just opposite the building where I earn my daily bread. Yesterday this facade protection at the corner of Rue des Colonies/Kolonienstraat and Rue de la Chancellerie/Kanselarijstraat was virgin white. Overnight some unknown artist produced this work of art. The photo does not do this any justice, the real experience is overwhelming...

Update: the unknown artist has been identified as street artist BONOM (his initials were just around the corner); see also his flickr group.
