Monday Mural, Almere

The entrance to our village by bus is a rather boring business area with buildings without windows. It was a paradise for graffiti painters but not the best ones. It was a mess with all kind of paintings and characters over each other. Some clever business people decided to invite a group of graffiti painters to make an offer, design something artistic and we pay for the paint. The result is spectacluar as you can see here.


It is endless could hardly get it in one picture.
Here you can see how it looked like before. This building still has to be decorated, the grey paint has been applied to remove all the messy stuff.
See for more Monday Murals here

  2. The mural turned the the once drab building into something that is now worth viewing.

  5. Lots of movement in this one, especially the way the lettering travels such a long distance. I never can read the words but this time I'm telling myself it's because it's in Dutch. haha. By the way, is the car supposed to be a Thunderbird? This definitely is a lively entrance into town. Thanks for sharing it and participating in Monday Mural. Are there more murals around town?

  7. nice! didnt know that they did this in almere... :)
    i also can never read the tags, thats what frustrates me and the reason i dont like them. i do like when they just paint something pretty or funny or interesting...
