Hi all ๐๐ป
Today I want to share with you some StreetArt finds I found in ABERDEEN Scotland ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ while exploring this city. The weather was bad that day and the rain seemed never ending ๐ง๏ธ๐ง๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ but I wanted to find some work of arts as I knew there would be a few cool #murals in this city. ๐
I found the main #mural / #art #work on a large #wall of a parking garage in the center of the city on 10 January 2023 during our road trip around Scotland.
The first #photo will be my #entry into the โCCC's Street Art Contest #129โ hosted by @digi-me

Location: โWALL ON THE SIDE OF A PARKING GARAGE, The Green (street)โ IN ABERDEEN #SCOTLAND
Work Created 2019
The Artistโs Instagram SMUGONE
DO HAVE A LOOK AT HIS WORKโฆ ITโS AWESOME ๐คฉ he is one of my favourite artists. Okโฆ yes, one of many hahaha ๐คฃ
Let me show you a bit more details from this amazing artwork:
Zooming inโฆ ๐
What a great depiction of the dog, the furโฆ the look in its eyes. Very strong ๐ and powerful, but at the same time very tender and soft due to the embrace. ๐ค
Bigger view again. Luckily the rain didnโt affect my photos to much.
Walking closer to it and looking up to show you how big it was.
Look at all the detailsโฆ ๐ค such great work! Donโt you think?
If you saw the other small work of art in my first photo too, here is a better view of it to show you more:
The depicted artwork is a painting from Vincent Van Gogh, The starry nightโฆ most of us know it. This mural wasnโt signed by the artist who painted it here.
If you donโt know this work have a look here: In Wikipedia about The Starry Night.
In another alley I spotted this work:
Pretty cool. It wasnโt signed either so I have no further information for you.
On the way to the parking garage on the other side I saw:

Amazing. Iยดm jealous as this is the kind of art I want to see. Great find! Hope I find those big ones when in Lisbon this week
Thanks a lot @betterthanhome ๐๐ป๐ hope you will find in Lisbon also these kind of large artworks.
I knew there were many in Aberdeen, unfortunately I only had time for a quick wander and just a handful of finds, mostly small ones. I hope I visit this city again and that I can look for the other big onesโฆ as I know they are there.
Good luck to you, and bring back many memories / photos of large ones ๐ and have fun ๐คฉ
Thanks. I will do my best. At least I got good company...@akida :)
Great to hear.
Thatโs awesome you guys will meet, now I am jealous hahaha ๐คฃ
lovely stuff, that dog in the mural pops up on @leaky20 blogs quite often ๐ , I like the booby lady of the bins, art in the raw.
Thanks a lot @grindle ๐๐ป๐ the dog is pretty cool.
Hehehe does it?
I like the raw ones too. Not only the large famous ones.
Have a great evening ๐๐ป
cheers you too
Thanks @grindle ๐๐ป๐ enjoy your mid week!
It is so unexpected to see a Van Gogh artwork on the street! ๐คฉ In rainy weather, it enlivens everything around with its bright blue. And that yellow container under the depicted artwork of Van Gogh's painting goes perfectly with the yellow color on this mural. ๐ Thank you for sharing this find, @littlebee4!
It was indeed, it just stood out so much in the dark rainy day. I loved finding it and I am happy I could share it with you ๐๐
The container even brightens it up more. Great contrast.
Have a wonderful evening @ganya.grak ๐๐ป
Wow, that first one is amazing, I wonder how much it cost to paint, whoever did it has serious skill. Even though it's technically advertising I wonder if there's a fee involved with keeping it up, like would they classify it as an advert for the barbers or would they classify it as art?
I like the last one too, it has a kind of Cyberpunk/ Sci-fi feel to it.

Thanks a lot @killerwot ๐๐ป๐ for stopping by. How are you my friend? Hope all is well.
I havenโt had much internet lately after our country move. This week the solution will arrive so I can post again more and engage like normally.
The costs are paint, rent of the cherry picker and hours work. Normallyโฆ for a festival I am not sure what an artist earns.
The advert for the barbers is not that clear. As Glasgow is rather far and only people that know the artist, his work and the barber would know. I found out by researching.
This work will stay up for a while as it does attract visitors. Especially that know about the StreetArt festival.
I hope to paint such a large mural one day. My largest one was a 10 meter long wallโฆ
This work was great to see finally in real life, I knew about it before I ever visited this city.
Hope I can explore Aberdeen one day again and find all the other large murals.
The last one was also cute. A nice style indeed.
Have a great evening and enjoy your week ๐๐ป๐
Wowwww, what a beauty. It's stunning, and the dog looks like it was real. Great find my friend.
Beautiful day to you... @littlebee4 ๐
Thank you so much @dayadam ๐๐ป๐ the dog indeed looks so real. This work is stunning, I was so happy to see it in real life.
Happy I could share it with you.
Thanks a lot, enjoy your week ๐ค๐บโ๏ธ
They look pretty decent - and Aberdeen needs brightening up with all that grey granite around ! Nice finds !!!

Well you did get some great pics! :D
This still blows my mind. That artists are allowed to paint on public property in Europe.
Love it!
I painted a really bad version of Starry Night for the front of a DJ rig for a party way back. UV et al
Van Gogh would've turned in his grave as the blacklights were switched on. For sure.
Take care, angel. ๐
Thanks dear ๐๐ป๐
Yes, I love it and I hope many more artists will keep on painting on walls, including me hehehe ๐คญ
I only had one time that a group of the community in an apartment building didnโt agree. The owner of a penthouse had asked me to paint a tree of life on the outside wall in Spain. With animals, insects and birdsโฆ so when I finished later he contacted me, and said the community board didnโt agree with it. Even though it was his penthouse and terrace. Apparently the outside wall of his living room it was painted on wasnโt.
So while they were discussing it, I removed the sky. The owner hoped the tree could stay as it was hardly visible from the ground. But while nobody was in the penthouse, the community entered and painted it all over ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ it was sad.
Oh that sounds cool, a starry night with black light features ๐ cool!
Yep, think Vincent would turn anyway in his graveโฆ especially now he is so famous after his death.
Thanks, you too my friend ๐ค๐ฅฐ๐บ
I did not know you are an artist! I would love to see some of your work...
Ah - so still some control even in Spain.
That's really cheeky of them ๐ And creepy! :(
I wonder if he would care or whether he would have a dance ๐
Have a great day, sister. See you always โค๏ธ
Thatโs a shame you missed my art.
I did have a quick search and here are just a few, so you can see what I do for work.
Portrait drawing
Gouache painting black kite
Published landscape, airbrush and painted
Snails painting
Airbrushed wheelcover on car This one has some stories about me in the middle of the postโฆ
I will try to share some more after setting up my studio againโฆ other things are going first, but soon ๐ค๐ป๐
Yep, even in Spain some things are controlled and not always right.
I knowโฆ they just entered when the owner wasnโt there ๐ณ
He did sell the penthouse shortly afterโฆ
Letโs think he comes to dance ๐บ๐ป ๐๐ป
Thanks a lot sisterโฆ see you too ๐ค๐ฅฐ๐บ
!LADY
I am so tired I am about to weep.
So I'm saving this especially for fresh eyes with fresh coffee in the morning.
Can't wait! :D
Aaawww I can imagineโฆ rest sisterโฆ sleepโฆ you need it.
Thatโs lovely to hear you check them out in the morning. Thank you!
Take care and night night ๐ด๐ด
Back up.
Such good rest! Thank you. So need it. And colour returning to my face! Looking less like a ghoul ๐
Insane loadshedding and am on it in-between. I had it open after Meesterboms story, had a small dance in the kitchen and the power went out.
Know what though?
Loadshedding sure does help with forced rest and outside time so... hmmmm... perhaps it's a good thing in some ways.
Happy days ๐น
Thatโs wonderful to hear you had a good rest dear ๐๐ค
Itโs a shame from the load shedding, but like you sayโฆ it does make people do other things. And going out is one of them. And resting moreโฆ no disturbances.
Happy days indeed.
Hope your day is lovely, Bigg hugg ๐ค๐
Feeling better every day. ๐๐ผ
Thanks, angel. Brace yourself because when I'm in full gear again I'm coming in hard! ๐๐ฅ
Thatโs wonderful to hearโฆ yay! Keep going.
You are so welcome ๐๐ป good!

And so many different mediums and SO good!!! ๐ฅ๐
Airbrushing is hard!
I love the snails :D I love snails though. They're adorable. But the detail and realism here is incredible
Art gets me so excited. I'm SO excited right now. To have found another artist ๐
You are a dark horse, my friend. Nice to learn more about you.
And see you in the photo. You're beautiful ๐
You just made my day sister ๐๐ซฃ donโt make me blush hehehe ๐คญ
I started my art in 2011 with airbrushing. After that I learned drawing and much later painting.
It truly saved my lifeโฆ there is somewhere a post about it buried in the ladies of hive community about that part of my life.
Somehow I love the mostly forgotten thingsโฆ like snails or unusual things. So why not paint them ๐
Aaawwww thanks for that, you are a sweetheart ๐ค๐ค๐ฅฐ
Have a wonderful evening, make it magical โจ

Ah... it's an incredible way to process and release
I understand that fully!
You have talent, beautiful. Seriously. I do hope you're still making art.
I did a four year degree and never learned to draw like that. Concept was my strength. I was too lazy (and partying too hard, truth be told) to practice and hone my skills.
It sure isโฆ
Thanks so much, ๐ I havenโt created much for some years nowโฆ but planning on starting again. I feel I have too. ๐ฅฐ
Really, thatโs cool you got that. I never had lessonsโฆ just started. Learning along the way.
Maybe one day you start again too, when you are ready. ๐
Enjoy your evening ๐
I've started ;)
I'm super interested in NFTs. I've been busy with a project for six months now.
But so many creative ideas and I keep switching lanes. So I work on things in bits and pieces ๐
But also... timing. It's not time for it to be released yet.
I have some stuff to finish off here first. ๐๐ผ
I think focusing on one area of creativity is really about where you are in your personal journey as a creative?
Right now I'm mostly writing still. I still have too much to day and document.
When it's done I can maybe focus on more philosophical concepts and questions that work better as visuals.
It's like that
Yay thatโs great to hear ๐ฅณ๐ฅณ
Oh thatโs is interesting. Keep goingโฆ it will come together in the right time ๐๐ค you made me curious now, especially as you are working on it for a while.
Sometimes it does needs to be in the right time. You know when it will be time to be released.
Good luck with it, have fun creating!
I can imagineโฆ good you are writing and documenting it.
Or a combination of all ๐
Do what feels is right, then it will flow. You know what I mean.
Huggsss ๐ค๐ค๐ฅฐ
Yesssssss (and thank you for the lovely compliment)
Yeah. There's a technical aspect to it that got me a bit stuck ๐ง
Figuring it out.
I'll be back ๐ฅ

The street art in Scotland are very cool. Interesting how it almost exists every possible area. If me visiting the front of the street building I won't stop there for awhile and have a discussion of how beautiful it is and how it made. Thanks for sharing dear!
The StreetArt is so beautiful @ahleap ๐ the details and how real it looks. I was standing there too for a while, even though it was raining, luckily my jacket had a hood and is waterproof ๐ง๏ธ๐ง๏ธ๐ง๏ธ
I hope to meet some artists one day to talk with them about their beautiful work of arts.

Thanks a lot @juniorgomez ๐๐ป๐ love finding great works of art. Especially as I am an artist myself.
The photorealistic style is amazing and to think this is fully done with spray cans.
He sure isโฆ hope I can find more of his work.
Thanks for checking out my post. Have an awesome week further ๐
So big picture. Amazing how many patience they must have to paint it.
Yes, you are rightโฆ such a detailed piece of art on that scale does require a lot of patience.
Thanks for viewing. Have a wonderful week further @cars-art ๐๐ป๐
The first mural looks so good. It might've took them a lot of time to do that. So artistic.
Thanks for coming along and seeing this beautiful work of art.
I guess it must have taken him less than a week. Still very impressive. The details are just amazing and how real it looks.
Have a great week further! ๐
Really? Less than a week is impressive.
Most of them yes can manage in a week. Iโm an artist myself and have done a few murals to know.
Have a wonderful week further @shula14 ๐๐ป๐
Very beautiful street art! The one I liked the most was the one by Vincet van Gogh
Thanks @stefano.massari for checking them out and picking your favourite.
Itโs stunning and on this dark rainy day the starry night stood out so much. Itโs beautifully done.
Have an awesome day further ๐๐ป๐
I adore that first mural and as a painter of people and pets, it really finds a place in my heart especially as they are both ginger, and I do love to paint gingers :)
You are so right, I have the same. I Love painting animals and people too and this work is just stunning. Very powerful. I was happy to finally see it in real life ๐ฅฐ๐
Happy I could share it with you.
Have a wonderful Tuesday ๐๐ป๐

My favourite is the mural of the starry night. It's such a classical piece of art and I love the individual twist people bring to it when recreating it. Street are can be so much more than unorganised graffiti! These are all beautiful ๐ผ๏ธ
It truly is, so recognisable. And it stood out so much in the dark rainy surroundings.
Thanks a lot @misshugo ๐ me too, itโs great to see artist do change it a bit to make theirs.
StreetArt can be much more than just ugly tags. Happy to be able to share the beautiful ones.

Very cool work with this portrait. With this dog, I thought the character was a grandmother but on closer inspection it doesn't seem so. Ah the prejudices ๐ Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community. Have a great day.
Thanks a lot @heroldius ๐๐ป๐ hehehe funny, good you did look closer. Also that the head is so much lighter it is not so obvious.
Happy to share my finds and be here.
I was so happy to see it in real life. The artist is so talented. Stunning work he creates. Hope I get a chance to see more from him.
Have a nice midweek ๐
Good, Aberdeen is bleak and the rain doesn't help but the murals do raise it up a touch!
You are right, the artworks do help so much and make it raise up out of the dark and rain ๐
Although I donโt know Aberdeen further, but most likely visit it again to explore more.
Thanks for checking the murals out.
Have a nice day further.
