STREET ART OF GEORGE TOWN, PENANG
These are photos that I took while I was on bike ride around the George Town, Penang UNESCO Heritage Core Zone, Malaysia. It is interesting how the artists have use physical props to be part of the art. Enjoy.
A forklift is used to hoist tourists up to leave their mark. The brothers provide this and the marker pens at no charge, such is how the residents here are proud of their locality.
Map of George Town, showing the locations of the many street art. Seems like I missed out a few and will be busy the next time I go to Penang.
Update August 2014:
