This is Richard. He is English.



This is richard he is a pretty good bloke.
From England, therefore English, but then no-one is perfect aye?
He, Luko (another friend and Buenos Aires bike guide), and I headed out to the province this week to nosey about and look at some of the urban street art out there, and we found there is a ton of stuff!
There is a lot of embellishment going on out in there 
in Tres de Fevrero(in Spanish para embellecer means to beautify), and a lot of it is being curated by a chap named Hugo Curto, but I think the mover behind it all is a now quite famous artist, Martin Ron.
Thought by many to be among the top muralists in the world, Martin Ron has contributed to literally hundreds of works in the area, has attracted many well regarded street artists to interviene walls with the blessing of the local govt, and even teaches the topic as a professor.
I've not much else to say except that, the art was worth the trip out there as of course was the company of these two fine blokes. Unless you are really into the sreet/urban art scene though there isn't anything else more of note there to make it a viable tour destination, although Luko found us a bloody good pizzaria!
I hope you enjoy few of the snaps from my crappy phone...
