Canadian artist Roadsworth transforms streets into art

A few years ago Boing Boing shared this documentary about Canadian street artist Peter Gibson a.k.a. Roadsworth, and his Instagram account offers a treasure trove of more his work. Many of Gibsons designs are politically pointed. As his captions explain, his street murals touch on everything from the refugee crisis to commercialism:

But other pieces are more fanciful and playful, like this squirrel that appears to be darting down the road:

Some of my favorite designs are below, and you can find the full collection of street art, as well as Gibson's other work, on his Roadsworth Instagram account.
