On the streets of Plovdiv. Bulgaria June 22

Strolling around Kapana, a trendy part of town full of lovely cafes artisan shops, narrow cobbled streets, a world away from the museums and brutalist Soviet buildings of the main part of the city.

There is so much quality in such a small area, would you not agree?

All the above are works by Stanislav Trifonov, under the name NASIMO, a well known Bulgarian Artist. Active since the 90's and a fore runner of the street art movement across the Balkans.

Painted in 2019 and signed NASMO (subtle), it is said to portray the breaking of Bularia's chains for free speech.

I am not sure if this is actually done by "Faunagraphic" the street name of a British street and studio artist, Sarah Yates. Having seen some of her work in Sheffield, UK, This is not to her usual high standards as she normally paints large murals with finite detail

Now my first thought was Mick Jagger
My second thought was, A lot better than I could do
My third thought Still crap likeness though
My fourth? It isn't Mick Jagger

If anyone can enlighten me I would be obliged, the arrow symbol to the bottom left, I have seen it in a number of locations in the former GDR, but still unable to find out what it stands for.

Good effort, must try harder

Some big bits

No suggestions as to who is responsible for this fantastic building
