Recently, I heard that a rogue graffiti artist painted fun Mario Cart symbols in a local Portland bike lane. While it was amusing to hear, little did I know how FUN it would be to actually ride in said bike lane!
The fun stars, mushrooms, banana peels and power strips made for an imaginative ride. I found myself giggling and pedaling away with glee. Which got me thinking.... While some graffiti is plain old annoying, there is a myriad of street art out there that is beautiful with the simple intention of putting a smile on our faces. I am so thankful for those talented people who tag with a positive spirit! Here are a few works of graffiti art that made me smile.
Do you have a favorite street artist, or example of street art? I would love to see it!
UPDATE: Here are some selections from readers, great finds!!

i love the stairs photo.
I know! Isn't it great? I had to look at it three times before my mind adjusted to the visual trickery!
This is a great use of graffiti!
