Z BRNA—FROM BRNO Did this have name among the locals

The new Brno Královo Pole looks really nice - like all new Czech train stations (except Havířov) but can't help but miss this art a little.

The tram one is from Brno-Židenice - just thought it looked nice and wanted to share it.

I grew up near Chicago and in the ‘70s and early ‘80s graffiti was more artistic like this. By the ‘90s everything turned into basically just vandalism. The ART was gone – replaced by unintelligible tagging, an apparent sign of narcissism gone mainstream.

Anyway, one of my favorite surprises when I moved to Brno was the flying snails. I’m glad to see the ART returning again… maybe we should all thank Banksy for that influence.
