LiveStyles, Cork, 2013 - Part 3 - White Street Carpark

Following on from my previous posts about the LiveStyles hip hop festival in Cork, which took place over the June Bank Holiday weekend, running from 1 May to 3 June 2013. I am now posting photos I took of pieces that I found in the White Street carpark after the festival.

I'm not sure if all of these pieces were done as part of the festival. Most of them were, but I know at least one piece wasn't. Does it matter? They are all good, and should be shared here in any event.... Unfortunately, I was not able to get shots of all the pieces in the carpark as, oddly enough, there were a number of cars parked around the place.

I won't be trying to identify the artists here, mainly as most of the pieces speak for themselves.... By the way, there are other photos of some of these and other pieces posted on the LiveStyles Facebook page. Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/LiveStylesFest/photos_stream#!/LiveStylesFest

These photos were all taken by me in June 2013. Enjoy!

LiveStyles, Cork, 2013 - Part 2 - Camden Palace Hotel

I finally pulled together the photos I took of pieces painted by graffiti artists during the recent LiveStyles hip hop festival in Cork. This event took place over the June Bank Holiday weekend, running from 1 May to 3 June 2013.

Today, I'm sharing photos of pieces in the area of the Camden Palace Hotel. I also have photos of pieces in the White Street car park, but I will share those in a separate post in a few days.

I've tried to give the names of the artists where possible, but there are still a couple that I haven't been able to identify. If you can help me to fill in the blanks here, please drop me a line....

So, first, here are the new pieces on the front of the Camden Palace Hotel at Camden Place....

Many thanks to the folks there that posted those photos as that info helped me identify some of the above artists.

By the way, if you wish to feast your optic nerves on more great work by these artists, here are links to some of their Flickr pages and web pages:
