Reykjavik 101

Walking the streets of Reykjavik, Misa and I discovered a surprisingly strong street graphic culture.

This cat appears in a number of forms - sometimes fanged, sometimes winged.

The milk cartons are everywhere - on the wall outside the bar, printed on US postal service labels, on the side of construction pits. The artists selects locations for color and often uses edges of walls to wrap the flat graphic into a 3D shape.

The milk carton in context of other popular themes: the floating eyes, the ghosts, and others.

The flying eyes on the wall of the Sirkus flea market.

A ghost or perhaps an octopus. The character often looks like the Ms. Pacman ghosts, but the shape may refer to something else.

The ghost wrapped in a corner.

I liked the off-kilter shape of this rabbit form.
