Photos taken throughout Portadown Portadown is increasingly becoming a town known for its street art. At a time when traditional politics is becoming of less relevance to many, some of the young people in town have found a new way to express themselves. Over the last few years the type of graffiti art seen in various cities throughout the world has bagan to manifest itself in several areas of the town, often replacing more sinister scribbling and threatening messages. I personally find this recent phenomenom fascinating . Most of the art has brightened up derelict buildings and can brighten up some places when done stylishly and efficiently. I will add some commentary when i work out what to say. All of the pictures on this page link to a bigger picture.
