Graffiti #7: The Face(s)

UPDATE:  I found my first multi-colored Face behind a fence:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most prolific graffiti artists in my neighborhood around Freedom Square is the person who paints these monster faces. To me, he looks like a bizarre relative of Oscar the Grouch.  I've been wanting to post this first face basically since the day I arrived as it was the first graffiti art beyond someone painting a word or letters that I came upon.  


I'm glad I waited though as I've come upon many more examples of this artists work.  Here we have a basic monster with almost a happy look on his face.


And with the addition of some eye brows and a hat [is that a hat?] it looks a little more menacing.


These last two are the most disturbing I think and they are located right next to each other on the same street.


This one looks to be a work in progress that was possibly interrupted mid-spray.


And last night as we were walking home from dinner I saw another piece located down an apartment's alleyway but lurking around a Kharkiv alley with a camera at 9:30pm is not the best idea so that will have to be for another day.
