Street Art: Our Most Liked Instagram Photos From February 2017
A little later than we planned but we have put together a selection of our most liked photographs in February by those of you following us on our Hookedblog Instagram account. The month was busy with many street artists emerging from their studios after a long winter and taking to the streets with new works.
The end of February also saw us hit the big 10K, super amazing that we've now got 10,000 of the best Instagram followers!
Thanks to everyone who is following and enjoying the content we share on this platform, it’s been a slow climb to this milestone number but we are happy that we have achieved this with quality content rather than taking shortcuts as so many other street art Instagram accounts have done, using bots and apps to inflate their number count with fake followers - but that subject is a whole other blog post in itself.
February Street Art Selection
So back to our February selection, here you have it our second collection on the blog of the photographs our Instagram followers liked the most, as with our January collection the selection of images features a mix of new street artworks as well as an older ROA piece which was a throwback Thursday #TBT post!

Painted back in 2012, this much loved Hedgehog mural by Belgian artist ROA (Previously on Hookedblog) on Chance Street has in the last few months seen the hedgehog legs lost to graffiti writers.
05 — ROA Hedgehog Mural on Chance Street, London.
Painted back in 2012, this much loved Hedgehog mural by Belgian artist ROA (Previously on Hookedblog) on Chance Street has in the last few months seen the hedgehog legs lost to graffiti writers.
Before this mural was even finished back in 2012 it was heavily photographed and has continued to be a popular mural with locals, tourists, and the large volume of street art tours who wind their way around the streets of East London.
As such this mural was always gonna be a target for taggers with the black background of the mural and the volume of people taking pictures of this wall, but this is the nature of street art it is ephemeral and not meant to be permeant.
Spanish artist OKUDA was in town for his solo show at Stolen Space gallery in February and found some time while in town to paint this colorful bear mural on Sclater Street in East London.
London based artist Ant Carver recently hit the streets with a new series of vibrant paste-ups a selection of which we featured along with the one pictured above in the previous post 'Striking new street art by Ant Carver in Shoreditch, London'.
