    Spotted this while in Barcelona last week. Have seen other work by this artist on previous visits but didn’t have a camera

    That is quality work Pat.

    Looks as though the chalk person did’nt have quite as much talent though, badly lets it down.

    Bracelona has to be one of the finest places on earth, beautiful place.

    It must be a European thing. I was away in Austria earlier in the year and posted some photos here https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=20892&highlight=
    I remember seeing similar examples in Bavaria too.

    They definitely improve the look of a place, it’s a pity we don’t see it over here.

    Cheers
