Street Art in KL

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

I like looking at street art. I think they are cool and nice. I once blogged about the nice graffiti that I saw in Melaka. Then I saw some vandalism on Singapore streets too. But they are ugly and not creative at all. Click on the links to look at the photos of the vandalism in Melaka and Singapore.

Well, at least the Malaysian artists are more creative. They produce some good street art. And the government actually left it there. Go Malaysia! Liked the vibrancy here. Yea, that’s the difference between Malaysia and Singapore. Singapore is trying to push for a more vibrant culture, but it’s coming from the government and not the people.

Anyway, enjoy the photos I took along the streets near Central Market. Some are just pure vandalism but some are really nice artwork.

Cool stuff right? KL street art…..

Vandalism in Melaka

Wednesday, September 5th, 2007

Remember my previous blog post about the vandalism I saw in Singapore. Well, I was at Melaka for my holidays and this is way cooler than the one in Singapore.melaka.jpg

Before the vandal pixs, some random building pixs first….In the middle of old shophouses, there’s this one grand building here…..

Now for the vandal pixs proper….Look at the above! Great piece of art work right? Too bad that pick up truck must park there when I need to take a photo….

Who says we cant find vandalism in Singapore?

[tag]Singapore[/tag] is spick-and-span. Clean toilets, no [tag]vandalism[/tag] etc. That’s Singapore’s image in the world….(and not forgetting the cliched Fine City nickname) But that’s not 100% true.

Took this pix somewhere near [tag]Paya Lebar MRT[/tag]. I was there to get to the shop that produces the customised mugger mugs that we made for Teachers’ Day (look previous entry).

To me vandalism is cool. It’s some sort of an underground arts scene. However perhaps the graffiti artists here ain’t good enough yet. They are just simply spraying some designs with black spray. I wanna see more creative design and more use of colours. Btw, is there a legal graffiti place in Singapore where artists just simply spray their talents out?

Oh..and took this pix too on the way to the mugs shop….Some digging work for the new MRT line going on….Real deep….and am amazed at the engineering feat…
