Beautiful - so many talented artists around there. A lot of emotion has gone into those murals.

[Black Dagger]

Wow, these are awesome, thanks for posting them :)
Are there any political graf/stencil artists in your area?

[Conghaileach]

I have to be honest and say that stencils are not all that common. Though I did recently see one that said "Free State = Oxymoron". There are some graffiti artists in the area but it's not political. I do have a photo of two stencils here.

Was that the Connolly mural only recently painted a chará?

[WUOrevolt]

I love the Palestinian and Irish solidarity murals.

[Si Pinto]

I haven't been to Belfast for 8 years :( so I hadn't seen the new ones, they're brilliant. I love the Bush one and the Fight Racism/Fight Bigotry one.

I'll have to get myself over there again soon.

Thanks for posting them.

The Connolly mural is only about a month or so old.

[The Living Red]

They're fantastic, thank you very much for posting them.

Quick question though:
Would you say these murals are common throughout Belfast generally or are they just in certain areas of the city?

[Connolly]

Here are some photo's of murals I took during a recent trip to Belfast. Hope you enjoy. Ill post more later when they upload (Im using dialup :angry: ).

They are very common in working class areas of the city, both nationalist and loyalist. Pretty much all of my stuff has come from Republican areas of West Belfast.

Here are a few others I took...
