street in sinchon
i was suprised that there wasn’t really any graffiti in seoul, especially for a city of 10,000,000 people. and seoul is a pretty clean city, no trash anywhere. i did see some graffiti and street art though, mostly around Hongdae and Sinchon. Hongdae University is a big art school in Seoul and every Saturday, students sell their art and fashion stuff in a small park near the campus. it’s called Free Market, and apparently they sell cool stuff. i wouldn’t know because they day i went to Free Market, it was raining and no one was selling anything. well, here are some street art pics from Hongdae and Sinchon.
stencils seem to be big there. here are a few.
saw some familiar tags. norm msk
this is not really street art. i saw this at a stand for a portrait artist. i thought it was weird to be selling a portrait of hitler, and weirder to put it next to a portrait of the pope.
i have been in seoul for the last couple of weeks visiting my brother and family. unfortunately, i have been fighting off a cold ever since i arrived so i have been laying low. the constant supply of soju is probably not helping. i am in seoul for the rest of the month and i will be updating with photos and sketches in the coming days.
