As promised, this post is about the street art of Berlin. To be followed by a post of art on the Berlin Wall, too. (Oh, soooo many pictures.)

To start, this picture is dedicated to my sisters (Kim & Laura). I swear I didn't do it.

| The green man here is the "walking man" symbol in Berlin. He is seen everywhere now as a cult image. |
The two above and the two below are taken at Kunsthaus Tacheles, where artists have taken over an entire building for many years and decorated and used it as they please. It's part gallery, part funhouse, part junkyard, and part sculpture garden. The best part is that at any given time you can see the artists at work; my favorite was seeing the sculptors working on a larger than life iron horse.

| This strange, over-sexed bunny is an icon of one of the few, well known, female graffiti artists (epic fail-- I forget her name!). She is from Toulouse, France (HI, Anna!) and is known for over-sexualized but unappealing figures. She's very respected in Berlin. |
 |
| The STRANGEST performance art combined with sculpture I've ever experienced was at the Dead Chickens Gallery for the Monster Kabinett. It was downright uncomfortable. I'm all for experimenting but, seriously, not all art is good art. |

| This is Dan, a local graffiti artist and student, preparing his next project. |
