Just keep on swimming

This is local graffiti artist that happen to recognize (ok, this is the only one I recognize, but still). I have seen some of his work online after I found a different piece I liked and kept the name.

Extremely colorful and quite characteristic fish/hands that he likes to place in various locations. Often just one and not as big as this one here. Still - they are hard to miss, that's for sure.

This was an old wall in the center of Lisbon. There was some construction going on, and in general, it was not the most attractive little street out there.
I am not able to give the exact location now. There are so many tiny little streets in this part of Lisbon that it just gets confusing. It is somewhere between Praça Martim Moniz and St George Castle. Go look for it :D

There is one more that I have seen, but I haven't taken photos yet. And I think one more should be around, but I have to check on that first as I don't recall it now. But it is possible I just didn't pay attention :p

And only now I noticed there is a little sticky note right in front the face. Pity I didnt see it when I was there. I can't tell if its real one, ro was painted too. Can't read what is written on it either...
I guess I will have to back and look for this street again :P

The whole piece looks like this. It's not the best angle, I know, but the street was a bit too narrow to let me catch it all.

So cute fish/hands :D

I think that sticker is a real one, with a message, maybe an advertisement or something. Maybe a shopping list hahaha, who knows? 😆

An important detail: a sticker not photographed. Hahaha... But we can imagine that maybe it's a person, who would like someone to lose his head for him.

I will check this author out. But a net, fish, parts of the body... I think it talks about the traps of life and what we leave behind.

I like the style. Thanks for the find. I'm always interested in what this means from each person's individual perspective.
