Even though there have been a ton of posts about Ukraine's street art on this blog, I still have more pictures left over.
Seeing as how it's been 1.5 years since we left Kharkiv, it's probably time to dust these guys off and make space on the computer for new photos. (There are also a few repeats in here that I just really liked.)
Hope you enjoy! :)

The Garages
Another bright spot in an otherwise gray world- private garages. Check out all these people who opted for art!
The Stuff That's Just As Depressing As You'd Expect
My Favorite Dinosaur
This guy just looks so mischievous. Doesn't he make you laugh?
The Other (Non-Dino) Animals
And a pina colada.
The Really Colorful Stuff
Writers and Words
Featuring Taras Shevchenko, Alexander Pushkin, and a smattering of Ukrainian/Russian/English sentiments.
