It's world wide and it's not commissioned work; it is graffiti, which i happen to love

Excellent find!

I love stuff like this....I'm gonna try and spot some myself now :p

Seeing as youlike graffiti, have you ever seen the LED Throwies?
Another form of 'graffiti' but with small LED's attached to magnets......

Link to a video about them
 
Cheers Marcel,

First time i've seen those, pretty cool hey

Those in the shot above are around the shude hill area


Thanks guys
 
like the idea of this :)

nice pics too, good composition too, not to simple straight on pics- they set the scene well.

are you searching for them or did you just stumble across them?
 
interesting idea, and well spotted!
 
I love these very urban ideas. Being a country boy I have trouble with the "why" as my mind just does not think that way but appreciate the notion nonetheless.

An idea that the web has definitely helped spread. Here is another activity that probably could not have ever got going without tinterweb http://www.geocaching.com/
 
I came across the first two a long time ago, they have been there a couple of years now. It was only after i shot them and posted them that it was pointed out to me that there were more. I walked past the last one all the time and missed it, and its pretty big.

They are ceramic tiles, there is some work put in to them and the council don't appear to want to move them.

I have a shot of a 4th that i've yet to sort out.

Cheers
