For your lunchtime dose of inspiration, we bring you an eclectic collection of "70 Amazing Examples of Street Art" from Bored Panda, the "highly visual oddities magazine."
From the work of street art icon Banksy to lesser-known provocateurs such as Sandrine Estrade Boulet, "This huge collection of creative street art will show you that city is probably the best canvas!"
"Every wall, fence or column could be turned into an art piece. It brings smiles and raises eyebrows. It is closer to people than the best painting or installation shown in a art gallery."
These 70 examples help make the argument that street art should be viewed as creative commentary, rather than a crime.
