A Photo Opportunity — London, UK
This mural shows photographers wandering a grey-toned pencil landscape, where giant yellow pencils burst from the ground like monuments. The illusionistic scene cleverly blends color and grayscale to highlight the surreal setting.
Overload — London, UK
A close-up of a woman in bold pink-tinted glasses and a high-collared jacket. The halo-like white ring and energetic brushstrokes behind her enhance the intensity of her gaze.
Quiet Strength — London, UK
Painted on a dark wall, a woman appears serene with closed eyes and natural lighting across her face. Her expression is meditative, with a white halo and geometric bursts framing her head.
Free-Range Eggxaggeration — Southend-on-Sea, UK
A fried egg forms the shape of a t-shirt hanging from a clothesline. The yolk appears to melt down the fabric, dripping toward the pavement in a playful, absurd twist.
Leap — Glasgow, UK
This mural depicts a dynamic figure in a yellow hoodie and coat leaping forward with a pink roller brush in one hand and spray can in the other. The faceless pose and motion freeze-frame give it energy and mystery.
Dog — Penge, South East London, UK
A humorous and energetic portrait of a dog with wide eyes and a tongue lolling to the side, framed by a yellow circle that adds vibrancy and focus.
Squish — London, UK
A playful portrait of a woman squishing her cheeks with her hands, her lips puckered and eyes wide. Her skin glows with soft highlights and pink tones, contrasting against the textured wall.
Sticky Mural — Southend-on-Sea, UK
A hyper-real painting of a hand lifting a fried egg from mid-air, backed by billowing purple drapery covering the entire house facade. The oversized scale creates a theatrical illusion.
These murals don’t just decorate buildings—they redefine them. Seth Globepainter’s work invites us to see cities as living canvases where memory, play, and possibility are always within reach.

45 Purrfect Street Art Pieces: A Tribute to Our Cats
The world of street art is a vibrant, ever-evolving canvas that reflects the thoughts, ideas, and aesthetics of diverse cultures around the globe. Among this profusion of creativity, one subject stands out and continues to inspire artists across borders and continents – the cat.
This feline-inspired street art phenomenon is far-reaching, with each corner of the world lending its own unique perspective to the representation of cats in public art. In the bustling cities of Japan, for example, where the cat is considered a symbol of good luck, you might spot murals depicting ‘Maneki-neko’ or the ‘beckoning cat’, a common Japanese talisman believed to bring fortune and prosperity.Across the Atlantic, in the urban landscapes of New York or Los Angeles, artists portray cats as emblems of the city’s spirit – independent, resourceful, and resilient. These murals often depict cats prowling rooftops or lounging lazily in the sun-drenched corners of the city, much like their human counterparts.
The styles in this collection range from super realistic to bold and colorful. Each piece tells its own story, celebrating how much people love cats. This collection is full of surprises and purr-sonality!
