ROA Street Art































ROA is one of my favorite street artists (previously here) who makes these giant spray painted black and white murals depicting animals and birds. The above shown are some of his new pieces painted on the walls in Portugal, Austria, Canada, U.K. and the U.S. 

The large scale paintings have an equally large message for an unkind human race with whom they have to co-exist on the planet. “I wanted to draw attention to how they and many other species become a victim of hunting and pollution,” by painting the piece of a narwhal caught in a fishing line.
