Monday Mural - Make Art not War

 I love murals and street art. If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you.  Just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you will find murals everywhere.  The "Monday Mural" meme goes live on Monday at 12,01AM, Perth,Western Australian time. Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters. Looking forward to your mural finds this week.

Thanks Sami 

Also in the Kreuzberg quarter, just outside the Tor Underground Station, and not far from the Jewish Museum, this mural from American artist Shepard Fairey, aka "Obey" was painted in 2014 and can be found at 28 Mehringplatz, Berlin.

His murals usually have the colours black, white and red and can be described as a mix of graffiti propaganda pop art. (In Sydney he used green in his mural - link below)

This one was painted at the entrance of a nearby building.

  2. I really like obey's murals. I don't know why, it seems to me that his design reminds me of a Rod Stewart record called every picture tells a story. I'm suddenly thinking about that now. I would have to check it out. Maybe my memory is playing tricks on me. Kwarkito

    1. Thanks Kwarkito. Maybe the symmetry of the design :)

  3. I like the alteration of the old slogan: make ART not war. It’s neat the way he uses an old-fashioned commercial art style that was suitable for printing on cardboard boxes.

    Thanks for hosting Monday Murals!

  12. A very clever and beautifullly done first mural!
    Sadly most have both closed, eyes and mind.
    The more so I was astonished when 2 minutes after opening the school where we voted yesterday was already well visited! :-)
    The second one is great, too.
