I had no idea about this, and decided to make a special edition of the blog today to highlight all of the amazing wall paintings. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Find out more, and see more of the art, by clicking the article below. Bx

In Awe of the Incredible Street Art of the Waterford Walls

Here are 15 amazing examples of the street art I found on display in Waterford this morning. My favourites were mostly up near my AirBnB, a mile away from the main town, which surprised me. The first 8 are in this very quiet neighbourhood, within a block or two of my digs.

See the TV set? Great way to decorate ugly boxes on the street.
This was a pub…
…with a lot of empty beer barrels.
Such a fantastic expression captured.
Ditto, same artist

The next set of 7 pieces were all down near the square where I played uke, or afterwards on the way out of town.

This one seemed to just float on the wall, not sure why or how.
Possibly conceived and executed with a pint in the artist’s hand?
I think this pre-dates the Wexford Walls project, but I kept it anyway.
I included this just because I was so tuned in to noticing wall paintings! Looks like the 1950s to me, judging by Elvis and the long football shorts.
One of my favourites, just as I left the centre of Waterford
