Street art is a worldwide phenomenon, people!

Breedene, Germany may not be on your to do travel list, but if you like street art you should add it. Graffiti ain’t what it used to be.

This post is part of the UpTake Public Art Series. If you see an interesting piece of public art, snap a picture and send it in. We’ll feature it on UpTake!

We’ve been inspired! This series usually showcases various pieces of commissioned public art, and we’ll continue to do so, but for the next few weeks we’re going to look at some awesome street art, too.

It’s kind of amazing to think that an entire generation has now grown to adulthood without hearing about the Soviets on the daily news (not The Daily Show, although that’s good too). That’s progress for you.

Thanks to the Monument of the Soviet Army, the people of Sofia, Bulgaria won’t forget anytime soon. That means the monument is working.
