Amazing Keen Street Art

Post by Commander Spleen »

This was just posted on my Facebook wall by a scener. Not sure where it was found, but it's insanely cool.

Wow! That's amazing! I believe this is in Frankfurt. If there is someone from there or can go there, it would worth investigate and take more pictures before they erase it.

I believe it's been there for at least a year. I found that mural on flickr once looking for keen or commanderkeen tagged images. It didn't have the guy in front of it though.
But for some reason I can't find it on there again.

Maybe I'm just not looking for the right tags.

If I had a choice between personally viewing this or the ceiling of Sistine Chapel, I would pick this.
It's only a matter of time before gaggles of thugs come along and spray their ugly tags.
To deface such a masterpiece would surely be the greatest of sins.

Bloody hell! Surely that's a legit, paid work! (Or, as the tag in the top left might indicate, a HUGE number of people were involved.)

Finally, street ART!

How long will this last? :(
I love my cute little Machop!

Come on, you know Machop is cute! I mean, how could you not love those endearing eyes? That adorable face? That loving embrace?

Just don't call it cuddly or else it will hurt you.

Another two months, until it's painted over with a DooM mural.

HAHA! They'd just have to spray a noose around Keen's neck to do that!

That's awesome. I'd love to get a good look at the rest of it!

Hmm, actually, that's a really good non-absolute white Keen!

That's awesome! Does anyone else think that those orange-white-spotted blocky things on the right very closely resemble Minecraft's Glowstone?

Yay I found it. Copied it off of Flickr, since I can't source from them.
Also found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/trinaldo/3477780644/
Looks like it was posted over 3 years ago, judging by the comments it has.

This looks incredible I wish I could see it in real life.
I'm the cool blue keener.
