This one is for the Daily Post
This week’s photo challenge was to publish images of ‘signs’ encountered on the street or more personal, less obvious signs such as gestures or social cues.
Mural on Cafe Duck Butt – Street Art by Davesaction, TSG, Mung Monster and Puff – Pow! Wow! Hawaii! 2014
The images that came immediately to mind were select works of Street Art I have come across during my Pacific sailing journey.
Mural on Wayne’s Auto Electric – Street Art by Brendan Monroe and Glenn Barr Pow! Wow! Hawaii! 2014
First, I thought of the Street Art created around pre-existing signage, where the sign becomes part of the artwork.

Car For Sale – Street Art by Seyb – ONO’U 2014 – Tahiti
McDonalds Cream Pie Advertisement Embedded In The Back Side of ‘Tahiti Cyclope’ – by Hell Ton John – ONO’U 2014 – Tahiti
And then I thought of the images I had seen where the purpose, in addition to adding a bit more beauty to the world, was to attract customers to purchase a product.
