You will find interactive chalk art in Michigan, hugging utility boxes in Poland, and a boy painting his own sun in Kazakhstan. These artists use everything from spray paint to metal to change the way we look at the streets.\n\nMore!: **Absolutely Fantastic (10 Photos)**\n\n* * *\n\n### 🐱 1. Cat Mural — By Sagie in Kristianstad, Sweden 🇸🇪\n\nThis giant gray cat looks like it is ready to jump down from the roof at any second. The artist used the shape of the building perfectly to make the cat look real. It is a great way to make a simple brick wall stand out. Residents probably have the most well-guarded roof in the city.\n\n🔗 Follow **Sagie on Instagram**\n\n* * *\n\n### 🐉 2. Jackie’s Eye Opener — By David Zinn in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA 🇺🇸\n\nJackie the dragon is peeking out of a sidewalk crack to see what is happening in the human world. David Zinn uses chalk to create these small and temporary surprises on the ground. It is amazing how much personality a little green creature can have. Keep your eyes on the pavement or you might miss him. More!: **Beautiful Autumn By David Zinn! (9 Photos)**\n\n🔗 Follow **David Zinn on Instagram**\n\n* * *\n\n### ☀️ 3. Boy Painting a Sun — By TANAI and Ali Zakir in Almaty, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿\n\nA little boy is barefoot and busy painting a bright orange sun on the side of a house. This mural uses bright colors to bring a sense of childhood wonder to the neighborhood. The scale makes it look like the child is actually reaching up to decorate the sky.\n\n🔗 Follow **TANAI** and **Ali Zakir** on Instagram\n\n* * *\n\n### 🤸 4. Simple Acrobatic — By Artez in Wuppertal, Germany 🇩🇪\n\nThese two acrobats are performing a difficult balance on a tall gray wall. Artez is known for his realistic style and for showing human figures in interesting poses. The man is balancing a woman and a chair with incredible ease.\n\n🔗 Follow **Artez on Instagram**\n\n* * *\n\n### 🤖 5. R2-D2 Street Art — By EFIX\n\nR2-D2 has arrived on our planet and he brought flowers! EFIX used a stencil to place the famous droid right next to a city trash bin. It turns a piece of street furniture into a small scene from a movie. This is a great example of how small art can have a big impact.

Eye Mural — By My Dog Sighs in Eccleston, Lancashire, UK 🇬🇧\n\nThe reflection in this eye is so detailed that you can see an entire landscape inside it. My Dog Sighs is a master at painting realistic eyes that seem to look right back at you. The turquoise paint drips add a cool texture to the brick wall. It is hard to walk past this without stopping to stare. More!: **Eyes That Speak! (7 Murals)**\n\n🔗 Follow **My Dog Sighs on Instagram**\n\n* * *\n\n### 📦 7. Hugging Boxes — By 2esae in Olsztyn, Poland 🇵🇱\n\nTwo gray utility boxes are now best friends thanks to a little paint. The artists added eyes and arms to make it look like they are sharing a big hug. It is a funny and clever way to hide boring city equipment.\n\n* * *\n\n### 🕶️ 8. Girl and Stencil — By Andy Dice Davies\n\nThis is a portrait of the artist’s daughter standing right next to her own stencil art. The painted version even has the same sunglasses and outfit as the real girl. It is a beautiful way to mix real life with the art on the wall. The two versions of her look like they are ready to go on an adventure together.\n\n🔗 Follow **Andy Dice Davies on Facebook**\n\n* * *\n\n### 🧘 9. Melancolie — By Albert Gyorgy in Geneva, Switzerland 🇨🇭\n\nThis bronze sculpture is named “Melancolie” and it sits by the lake in Geneva. The figure has a large hole in its chest to show the empty feeling of grief and sadness.\n\n* * *\n\nMore!: **Love Your Wild Neighbor (8 Photos)**\n\n* * *\n\n## Which one is your favorite?",
