Urban landscapes have long been the canvas for artistic expression, but few artists capture the imagination and playfulness of city life quite like Aiden Glynn. Known for his vibrant and whimsical style, Glynn transforms ordinary streets into extraordinary works of art. In this collection, we showcase ten captivating masterpieces that redefine what urban art can be—bringing life, humour, and creativity to the everyday.
10 – The power of the Tri-Star!
This first piece of art gives you a good indication of things to come, simple art overlayed in the real world gives things a whole new look and makes them stand out.
9 – Pikachu
With this image, you can really start to see that artist’s eye they all talk about, upon seeing the power sign, Aiden’s mind instantly saw Pikachu’s tail! Now that is what I call genius.
8 – Drunk
With nothing more than a few cartoon inspired stickers, Aiden turns even the most mundane things into something that makes people smile! Surely that is the very best kind of street art.
7 – Lego
You and I might walk past this boring, grey concrete flowerpot each and every day, but by giving it a face you instantly see it as a Lego-headed character! Simple, but very effective.
6 – Cigarette Bin
Even this dirty old cigarette bin that no-one would look twice at it suddenly the centre of attention. His talent for making awful things fun things is nothing but pure genius.
5 – Paving Slab Man
Even shapes in concrete inspire Aiden’s work, it makes me wonder how he sees the World around him, is it like a Warner Bros. Cartoon? Who knows, but I am sure it is fun.
4 – The Snail?
It seems that even the heaviest industrial of items can be brought to life in a way to make us all smile, and his Tumblr page is crammed full of these great images.
3 – Guard
Bringing ordinary things to life-like this is so much more than normal “eye bombing” it is street art at it’s very best, and Aiden really is one of the best at it. Not just this one, but all of his works made me smile!
2 – The Whisperers
Of all his cartoon works of art, this has to be my favourite. Just by adding the simplest of drawings, this normal parking ticket machine looks like it has some secrets to share.
1 – Mario Mushrooms!
If seeing this doesn’t make you smile, not a lot will, Aiden took a normal pot of mushrooms and replaced them with hand moulded Super Mario ones! Well, I was impressed anyway.
From larger-than-life murals to cleverly placed sculptures, Aiden Glynn’s art invites us to see our cities through a fresh and imaginative lens. Each piece reflects not just the creativity of the artist, but the potential of public spaces to inspire joy and wonder in those who walk through them.
