Street Art: Live your Dream

Live Your Dream, Bowery & Spring, Manhattan, NYC, USA

OK, so this is technically not street art. It's good old graffiti. But I still love it because of the message. It was on the Germania Bank building at 190 Bowery which has been a graffiti and street art covered private residence for years. 

Street Art: Skeleton Bench

Pink Bench, Brooklyn, NY, USA

I came across this captivating bench in Dumbo, Brooklyn, a few years ago. I was on my way to Brooklyn Bridge Park for some sun and relaxation. If you're into beautiful gardens and fantastic city views, this is the place to be. Great for people watching too. Public art plays a big part in the park, there's always something of interest to see.
