21 Cartoon Inspired Street Art And Installations From All Over The World

Cartoon characters already occupy a ton of visual space, and they're moving outside their usual tv screens. As graffiti becomes less stigmatized and more respected, it's beginning to reflect characters and scenes common to the every day person, not just the off-the-grid street artist.

What truly makes street art stand out most is the heart put into it. When that heart belongs to a favorite cartoon character, the end result is truly magical. Cartoon graffiti puts some of the most recognizable icons in situations we’ve never seen before, like for example, the Lego Movie’s Master Builder standing at a fake subway station or Snow White exploring her hardcore impulses in a dark alley. Here’s some of the best cartoon street art from all over the world.
