The Megaman Street Art Puts Up a Fight Against Ugly City Walls

— August 30, 2012 — Art & Design
Check out this Megaman street art that is doing its part to defeat the evil ugly walls of the big city. Megaman, a cyborg hero who was immortalized in classic video games, is hitting the streets of the real world now, if only in paint form. Just like the superheroes who have become cultural icons from comic books, video game superheroes are symbols of justice and the fight of good against evil.

The Megaman street art mural was created by artists Sight, Wyspr and Hone. If you are perusing the streets of Toronto, Canada then you just might run into this retro video game art wall.

As street art becomes more accepted by society, it will attract great artists like these more often to decorate our cities with engaging art instead of annoying advertisements.

3. Public Art as Activism - Using street art as a medium for social commentary and activism allows artists to address important issues and spark conversations in a visually impactful way.
Industry Implications
