I love how they freak people out, and I especially love them when they are completely unexpected. It's no wonder, then, that I am a big fan of this Skullface street art. The photographer behind these Skullface street art pieces utilizes his Flickr stream to the full extent in order to capture a psuedo-grotesque sense of the world around us. See more images of this urban artwork above. **Implications** - Street art has recently gone from underground phenomenon to accepted, widespread form of self expression.
