Culture Buzz We walk by street art and graffiti everyday without realizing it. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that this is a whole genre in the art world with its own beautiful stylings and cultural reflections. So, here’s a list of 30 amazing international pieces. The next time you see some street art, take some time to look at it!
The famed street artist put together a pretty fantastic piece for the protests. But then again, I always hated Mr. Moneybags so maybe I'm biased.

I don't think that's how rich uncles roll.) Photo by Jason Reeve (via tumblr.thedailywh.at)
