Glasgow is a creative city where artists and musicians will feel at home. These scenes are part of a huge four seasons wildlife design by street artist Smug: if you can spot the parked cars in the squirrel picture, they’ll help give you a sense of the scale.
I’m sharing this for this week’s photo challenge: (Extra)ordinary. It’s on the buildings adjoining Ingram Street Car Park in Merchant City as part of Glasgow’s Mural Trail in the city centre.

Love it!
Amazing street art – it’s years since I was in Glasgow but would love to see these in their full glory! Thanks for sharing:)
I wish I could have seen more of the trail but we were only there for a day.
Susan!
These are beautiful Pics you have clicked.
They are to be adored.
I think they are real stuff for upcoming Painters and fine art artists.
Isn’t?

Thanks Shiva. I’d love to be able to draw. Sadly, I can’t!
I’ve seen this in real life and it’s a show stopper! 🙂 (in fact, I featured it on the blog after a day trip to Glasgow early this year)
I’ve just been over to visit – very nice! It’s funny how we’ve both kept a hint of the tree in the fox picture to blend ‘real’ nature with the painting.
Thank you! 🙂 I was very impressed with my first (and only 🙂 ) visit to Glasgow. I’ll have to get up steam and go back there sometime. Is it your home base?
No, it was my first and only visit so far too, but let’s hope we’ll be back!
Sure is extraordinary .. Wonderful art!
stunning!!!!!!!!! I am off to a street art festival this afternoon in Tokyo. Will have camera in hand so looking forward to see what I can find!
When a city understands how to celebrate street art and finds great spaces for it, the city seems to come to life. Hope you’re having a wonderful time!
I read about it the newspaper a couple of days ago. I misunderstood. I thought it was the grand unveiling today and then a week long celebration. But it is a week of painting! A few artists were on site today and murals beginning to happen. I will have to go back next week to see the finished works!
It must be amazing to be able to see them actually working though.
Yes. I am hoping to try and pop back at least a couple of times this week and photograph the progress. a post is the making! Won’t be much of a chore as there are some great restaurants around there as I discovered today!
Wow what incredible images! Smug is insanely talented.
I like the way he seems to put little scenes in the eyes.
Yes! Exactly
I am such a fan of street art. Great captures and these are beautiful murals.
Thank you!
WOW! 🙂 it seems he likes animals and wildlife 🙂
He paints people too. I watched a film of him painting on YouTube – it’s amazing how he can create something so massive, to scale, freehand.
These are beautiful, you are lucky to have such murals in Glasgow.
They do brighten up an otherwise dull space.
