In my home town of Stavanger Norway street art artist Dotmasters came over and put up some of his rude kids in a boring underground crossing. This artwork was ordered by the Nuart project that is a street art project here in town and the road authorities who is in charge of the maintenance of these underground crossings. They have been struggling with a lot of illegal spray painting and other vandalism here, but that has become so much better after this artwork came up.
The artist, who’s name is Leon “Dotmasters” Seesix, told the local newspaper that he found inspiration for his rude kids in his own daughter. The kids he has put up is spray painting, fighting and flipping the finger, but also as you can see, protesting and skating. His rude kids can also be found in towns like Aberdeen, Paris, Liverpool and London, But also in Bali and New Zealand.
When the artist left a few blank white areas that the local kids could decorate, that was done almost immediately. Sadly I missed the “opening” of this back in June because I was away, but the artist gave a guided Street art tour of Stavanger. That is something that would have been very interesting, but you can’t have it all.
I do really like projects like this, as this was previously a very boring concrete wall in the underpass. It has made my walk to work a little bit more aesthetically pleasing as I am walking past this every day.

The thoughts and life of me 
I always have mixed views about graffiti and so called ‘street art’ but these look good.
Did I ever tell you that I once spent a weekend in nearby Haugesund – that could have done with some cheering up but to be fair it was January!
Haugesund is much nicer in summer. Not the greatest of winter cities, but in summer it’s a cute little place.
That is exactly what the lady in the museum told me. She said that I should go back in June/July!
I would say I agree with her!
I love seeing all the art you post. These are great, and I wish more places would do something like this.
I completly agree
Thanks for sharing this street art!
It is a lovely work
Yes, I think so too!
I love good street art rather than trashy graffiti. That looked fun to paint. Glad you are still here.
I do think so too! Happy to see you to Marlene
I like street arts because I always have a feeling an artist even not famous enough can reach out to a bigger number of viewers.
You are right about that, I do agree
These are so cool. I just traveled to Little Rock, Arkansas and they had some really cool street art and art installations. Check out my most recent blog to see what I posted about it!
