PNTR hunting + other sweet stencils

I've been walking a little more than usual due to screwing my ankle a few weeks ago and the MASSIVE winds that we have been having. Biking into a head wind with a bung ankle just doesn't work!

It would seem the elusive PNTR has been around the traps again, gracing us with some more beautiful work. This deer is just off Marion St, on the way to the back entrance of... you know...
And back on Arthur Street the Graff squad has been in full force, cleaning up the buildings, providing fresh canvases.
A little further along the bypass I found this. I honestly don't get it. At all. Sorry. I am sure it makes sense to whomever created it, but I don't get it. Nicely executed though.

Stencils... in... space!

Don't walk up the top end of Dixon Street much, so imagine my joy when I came across New Jazz Trans Plant:
And the butterfly spaceman:

Awesome.

On another note, went to Wanganui this weekend and as I was leading I spotted this:
Someone has REALLY gotten around with this one. I saw it at the start of the motorway in Wellington not that long ago and by the time I got to it, it had been removed. I really like it. It is smart stenciling.

Also like the fact that they have made 'mental' red. I think the one in Wellington was all black.

Love it.

This is AWESOME. The lovely Emma from Red Wine & Cigarettes took this photo just up the road from her house and sent it to me today.

It's amazing, I just love it. Thanks Em! xx

So, I can't take credit for these, they were taken by the lovely Emma who has a blog called Red Wine & Cigarettes but I am stealing them for this blog because they're totes impressive and very colourful. Thanks Emma!

MUGS (+a random selection)

Right, not street art, but I like this, it spoke to me as I was walking home one night, possibly after partaking in 1 too many drinks, but, in the morning, I still like it, so that's a positive.The butterfly may have spoken to me as well. I feel like this is on Webb St, but again, after 1 too many, it could be anywhere between Cuba St & my house.
And then we come to the MUGS. Now, I am not such a fan of tagging, which essentially is what this is, however, I will hive them their dues, they find imaginative ways of tagging:

Like I said, don't 100% approve, but interesting use/collection of canvases.

And PNTR continues to follow me around, or more to the point, I seem to go where they have been. Not sure how old this is, I don't walk down Bond Street very often, however is caught my eye yesterday.

On my way to work

I don't often walk to work, I usually ride my bicycle, however as the wind does have a tendency to blow a little strong sometimes in Wellington, this requires walking.

So, Wednesday I walked in and walked past a few gems.

On a letterbox on Arthur Street:

New images from the building that I took photos of the other week:
Looking a little closer at the PNTR tags:

Sheep.

These are on the Le Metropolitan cafe wall on Garrett St:

Elements of Banksy in this one:
No maps. Sorry. They are quite spread out.

Happy weekend.

Arthur Street - The Bypass

Great building on the bypass. I drove past it a while ago and thought, I should go back there, but tonight, as I was walking home I noticed the back of the building. We'll start at the front:
Lovely little artistic additions to the front of the building.
I feel it is a bit of a shame that the ducks have been covered, they look like they were well designed, it is however a PNTR:

Around the side of the building there is this nice little paste up hiding in the bushes:
And in the parking lot we have this lovely face
A bit of skull action
And this little guy. Naughty boy, drawing on the wall!
Any chance this is who is responsible for the boy? I have seen PNTR around a bit recently. I have a shot of a deer head with the teeth here and it looked as though this is it is the same artist.
I have a funny feeling PNTR is going to be my new obsession. Lots of brilliant work tagged with PNTR around the place at the moment. Shall be hunting it down...

All of the above is on the building here:
