This will interest all lovers of street art/graffiti/visual clutter. It’s basically Google Street View but with interesting bits of street art from around the world tagged and categorised. Shoreditch features heavily, as you might guess, but this is a global project so the best of Sao Paulo and Manhattan are there too. You can add your favourites and thus contribute to the common good, if you are of the fashionable belief that these doodles sit at the apex of our generation’s artistic achievement.
