Street art

Sometimes we've encountered with strange slogans written or printed on walls. Some of them can look like a complete nonsense, some of them are remembered by us and make us laugh. Some of them look strange, some are surprisingly accurate in describing of the current situation. It's the anonymous voice of the city - people who write it are unknown. It's like walls are speaking with passer-bys. I have several examples, made on Russian, but of course, there are a lot of them on English, German or Dutch, since the street art is well-developed in Europe...
Here they are:
The city has become absolutely ugly... Nothing like in the USSR.

This comment written on the dull grey concrete wall is very ironic and may be it reflects feelings of citizens. 

The wife who is an artist is the trouble of family.

I think, it's true to some extent...) Judge by myself (though I'm not an artist in the proper sense).

There wasn't any spleen - but then we downloaded "Hachiko".

The name of this sentimental movie during watching of which no one can avoid tears has become the synonym of all sentimental and tear-squezzing art. 

I'd been standing here for some time, and then I left...

The very good way to mark someone's previous presence in the certain place, so popular among teenagers and youngsters crowding in the public spaces. Better than banal "Vasya has been here"

"We are to grow spiritually. Or it'll be collapse".

The last warning, I guess...

Putin is an illusion.

The name of the current Russian president has also become the part of popular mythology. The man who's concealed his past and his personal life, but has become the symbol of relative wealth and stability cherished by ones and hated by others is the centre of attention. Myths circulate about him. And here we see the picture of the duck who's opened its beak just to say what many people think of Putin - that he's an illusion.
