The blog that I am responding to is called When On Earth. The specific blog entry that I thought was interesting is called “See How These 5 Wrecked Places Turned Into Art Hubs.” This is the link. The first place is in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia and are spray painted pictures of very alive looking faces. These paintings are done by Nikita Nomerz. I think they are very cool because they pop out on something that would other wise look for dull and ordinary. The second place is a run down nursing school, that from the outside looks very fallen apart and abandoned. On the inside the walls are covered with pictures of batman characters. I like this one a lot because the paintings are all very colorful. From the outside of the building it looks very boring, but the inside is covered with awesome colorful batman pictures. The third place is a rusty ship in North Wales. The goal of a group of artists is to cover up the ship completely with spray painted pictures. When you look at the images that they have painted it is almost hard to tell that there is a rusty old ship underneath. The fourth place is in Berlin, Germany and is a locked up Nazi/Soviet military base. This location is spray painted with haunting looking images. Some of which look almost 3-D as if they are really there. The fifth place is in Miami, USA in a Puerto Rican neighborhood. All over the walls are unbelievably amazing pieces of art.
