Yesterday I saw the coolest grafitti on V. Zhytomyrska. I remember bring back from London a photo-book by Banksy, determined to introduce the fine grafitti movement in Kyiv. After doing some little research on the internet, I learned that each seasoned street-artist got in trouble with police at least once. (They all got out fine, everything seems to be bought for 50 hrv these days, but the perspective of spending a night in jail is no good). This is where my ambitions stopped. Though the fastination gave way into admiring already exiting works on the walls of Kyiv.

I found this thorough collection of street-art that shows off some best practices, categorised geographically. Among those kids ik crew (Interesni Kazki) seems to be the most artistic folk. Unlike Bansky’s work (the ones I saw were on Brik Lane), it’s still hard to find the good stuff in the city center, thanks for police virgilence, sigh.
