Street Artist Paints Murals Around the World

Parisian street artist Julien  Malland calls himself Globepainter because his work has taken him all over the world. Most recently, he created a whimsical piece in his hometown of Paris, joining 50 of the world' finest street artists in turning an old nightclub into an art gallery.

Last November, Malland put out a book called Extramuros that chronicled his life as a global street painter. Malland takes the time to really get to know the local community before he creates a piece of public art. Sometimes, he even includes the locals in his photos. The book shows many of the murals he created within a three year period in faraway countries like India, China, Mexico, Indonesia and Vietnam. Below I some of my favourites.
