I've always felt that the most creative street art isn't the kind that's randomly spray painted on some freeway wall, but rather, it's the kind that stops you in your tracks and gives you an experience. In this set, I've put together 20 examples of street art that you can tell was thoughtfully placed in a certain environment - a side of a large building, on a colored door, next to a window - so that the background plays just as an important part of a role as the art itself. From well-known names like Banky and ABOVE to super sneaky teenagers with some paper and some paste, these artists all have one thing in common - the desire to take something ordinary and make it extraordinary.
