I have posted about Blam’s Sesame Street graffiti before but he is not alone with taking inspiration from cartoons, as this glorious yellow-tinted selection of ‘The Simpsons’ street art shows.
Clearly the standout piece is the Banksy (I must not copy ‘The Simpsons’) done in New Orleans. However, the large mural in Vancouver featuring the cast of ‘The Simpsons’ (behind the IGA in the Kerrisdale area) in honor of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics is another high quality piece of street art. The Homer Hero piece by Nakor is pretty cool too.
