This piece of street art in Harlem, New York City is the subject of some debate as to the identity of the artist. Some say it’s a Bansky, while others claim it is a CBO.

I think it looks like a Bansky, but what the hell do I know?

What do you think?

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.

This sculpture is one of many similar pieces of art that can be found in our mystery town. I’ll give you a hint. It’s not located in the United States, so you may need to phone a friend.

The artist is Steinunn Thorarinsdóttir, and her work is featured throughout the world, but a lot of it stays right where she is (the city, not the room).

It’s also where they film LazyTown.

The entire country is known for its beauty and scenic nature, wildlife and travel-disrupting volcanoes.

Also, it’s not nearly as cold as you would think (not that it is balmy). Answer below!

If you guessed Reykjavik, Iceland then you know your travel-disrupting volcanoes! Congratulations.

There are, I imagine, numerous places to hang out in St. Petersburg, Russia. These men happen to enjoy the company of an old factory. To each their own.

Normally I’d link to a handful of posts and things to do in St. Petersburg, but our archives appear a bit thin in the Russian area. So how about St. Petersburg, Florida? I hear it’s nice.

This post is a Wordless Wednesday entry, but you know those guys are saying something.
