While Tec's road sign graffiti might confuse the odd driver every now and again, they are a comical joy to look at.
Best viewed from above, the Brazil-based artist creates large scale whimsical and playful drawings that adorn the streets. While citizens can be forgiven for confusing some of the lines of the drawings -- like the giant mouse that crawls up a slanted hill -- to be doubling up as road lines, there is no denying Tec's road sign graffiti creativity.
Other drawings by Tec include a large lizard-like creature -- complete with legs and a snaky tongue and tail that also acts as a right-hand turn signal -- and a man who is outlined in yellow paint who looks to be painting a roll of yellow paint down the road. Whether Tec means for his art to confuse drivers is an intriguing question worth asking when enjoying his art.
