european grafiti craze

I've been in Europe for the past two weeks, and upon arriving I went to see Banksy's new film, Exit through the Gift Shop- It totally opened my eyes to the street art scene which is ever growing in Europe. (For those of you who don't know Banksy- check out his awesome work on www.banksy.co.uk

Wikipedia describes this craze as: 

Street art is any art developed in public spaces — that is, "in the streets" — though the term usually refers to unsanctioned art, as opposed to government sponsored initiatives. The term can include traditional graffiti artwork, stencil graffiti, sticker art, wheatpasting and street poster art, video projection, art intervention, guerrilla art, flash mobbing and street installations. Typically, the term street art or the more specific post-graffiti is used to distinguish contemporary public-space artwork from territorial graffiti, vandalism, and corporate art.

I have found some rad work through Madrid and Copenhagen- Here are a few of my favorite shots-
