Penang Street Art

Some one send me an email with all the picture below, and I thought of sharing this with you. I have seen these pictures and read some news about it (largely because of vandalism), I really love that Penang now is showing the 'artistic' side of it. Sadly, these paintings are not drawn by the local but an Lithuanian artist.

In conjunction with Penang's Georgetown Festival, certain old walls within our dear capital has gained a new lease of life, thanks to the awesome efforts of Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic. 

Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic is leaving his mark with beautiful wall painting of children all across historical Georgetown. The artworks are funny, fascinating, and very much open to everyone's interpretations.
