    Ha!

    Good see

    I like the way the frame vendor - hung the frame outside the wall to frame the end of the fish pole (it is a fish pole isn't it?)

    Thanks, everyone. It's not too clear in this shot, but what's in the frame is supposed to be a five Euro bill. Not sure whether the artist meant that to be the catch or the bait lol3.gif.

    Nice, fun shot! Could that be a Bansky graffiti?

    I don't think it's Banksy. Might be Blu--I've seen bills and shopping carts in other stuff he's done, but I haven't been able to pin this one down yet. Might also be an imitator. I'll do a little more research later today and let you know if I find out.

    Great capture and I had to do multiple "takes" on the scene in order to try to understand the perspective of the artwork vs the foreground scene.

    I do wonder if this is the artist know as "Alaniz" and at this facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/alanizart"

    A post from Alaniz on Apr 13 says of another piece, "Inspired by the stories of trains, graff and ethylic madness of my host in Madrid, ...".

    This name appears on the left/behind the subject caricature of your image. (The handle of the shopping cart in the graffiti.)

    Am I missing something?

    Hi Richard, nice to see you!

    Great composition. I'm happy this was the first post on DGrin I've seen in years.
