My Grandma said: “Steven, here is 5 dollars and don’t tell your mother I’m getting this to you.”
I said: “It will cost you more than that.”

Some signs of street smarts from Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Yes, this free Ljubljana Graffiti Tour is where I was shown these and much more examples of Ljubljana street art. Highly recommended!
We were taught that “161” stands for the order of letters in the alphabet, thus “AFA”. Now what this means is another question.
I should take this tour a few times more and write stuff down, at least artists’ names.
?! in our eyes too.
A house with a face. Sandi, left, was our tour guide.
“Queer Witches” in pink, as for the ear – does it remind you of anybody you know or have we all been brainwashed into seeing him everywhere?
Said Sartre first.
On the left: “Death to Fascism, freedom to the nation.” (Common Yugoslavia war cry.) On the right: “Graffiti-needy”.
On the left: “Cerar (Prime Minister of Slovenia), we are about to snap.” On the right: “All in one horn.” Rog (meaning “horn”) is the name of this abandoned and occupied factory which the city government seems to want back.
Have you ever heard of Vhils? He’s a Portuguese street artist that does some amazing stuff just by carving bits and pieces from a crumbling wall: http://vhils.com/work/walls/
Oh, I’m sad to report that I don’t know street artists by name. I often see on other blogs how they mention their names and it’s all very new to me. But thanks, I’ll keep him in mind after seeing his work in your link, amazing stuff!
Don’t expect grand lessons from me, I only know Vhils (because he’s Portuguese and I’m on a mission to convince you to visit Portugal) and Banksy (because everyone knows him) 🙂

Indeed, Jan. Sartre wrote this in his play No Exit. Don’t you ever feel that you are doing just fine until a certain someone comes along?
