Some people cannot stand graffiti, yet I've come to appreciate this urban art. It's like they are invisible warriors, changing the landscapes of cities yet nobody notices them working. One morning you have a blank wall, the next morning... art.

One thing I have never witnessed is Bear grafitti... not until I came across the work of the Spanish artist Yotto Bano. He calls his stuff (fittingly) 'Graffiti & Urban Bear Art', and I had mentioned his work in the past here on PlanetBears (articles), and he even quoted something I said on his blog site UrsuLaLaLa (the quote...? That his work is so cute you just want to hug the walls he's painted).

Since then, he has created a great profile on TubeBear, adding photos of his work and also a hot banner (every time I see the banner show up, it's like someone graffitied my site... it's very cool). He has also contributed a piece of his work to the ongoing TubeBear art gallery (for more on this - click here and find out how you can add your work to the gallery as well). Lastly, I notice he has some great looking jackets with his work sewn on the back... not sure if those are up for sale or not, you'll need to contact him for that.

Lastly - you gotta love this graffitied belly, and click here to see an incredible piece he created on the wall. I kept it at very high resolution just so you can see the amount of detail that went into it. I love UrsuLaLaLa.
