A new year, a new selection of remarkable street art from Berlin to feast your eyes on, including some new artists as well as some very familiar faces. As usual, where an artist has featured here before you can click on their name to see more of their work.
According to his website, Dave the Chimp was ‘born in an egg on a mountain top’. As well as decorating the streets with his quirky characters his artwork adorns skateboards and snowboards.
He has also turned his hand to directing music videos and one of my Berlin Songs series, Robots in Disguise – I Live in Berlin features snippets of the video he directed for the band’s song Girl.

New to andBerlin, these Run DMC paste-ups from Marshal Arts gave me a chuckle. See more from Marshal Arts on Facebook.

Judging by the response to my Tourist Information From Tina Berlina post, I’m not the only one who loves this character by El Bocho. I’ve also thrown in a Little Lucy for good measure.
This baby ‘using’ a policeman’s helmet is very different from the other Otto Schade pieces I’ve seen in Berlin and London and I LOVE IT.
Check out the Otto Schade website for more from this Chilean artist.

If you recognise either of these pieces and know who the artist is, please let me know in the comments so I can give the proper credit.
