Georgetown, the capital state of Penang in Malaysia, is now being accorded as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. With variety of scrumptious local foods and fascinating attractions, the journey in Penang never ends and the excitement never stops although I have been to Penang for uncountable time. And now comes the uniquely beautiful street arts/ mural paintings/ wall paintings across the historical Georgetown by Ernest Zacharevic (a young Lithuanian artist), in conjunction with Penang Georgetown Festival since 2012, as well as many other artist such as Louis Gan. Cut the craps and let's catch a glimpse of the Ernest Zacharevic street arts/ mural paintings/ wall paintings which I had visited. I will try my best to include the location of the street art to ease your street arts search.

(1) "Boy on a Bike" mural at Ah Quee Street, Georgetown, Penang.


(2) "Little Boy with Pet Dinosaur" mural at Ah Quee Street, Georgetown, Penang. Right next to the "Boy on a Bike" mural.


Besides these two murals, I found this mural as well on the same street when I walked further up. Our art is dying? No, I don't think so.


(3) "This Old Man" mural, at Armenian Street, Georgetown, Penang.



(4) "Little Children on a Bicycle" mural at Armenian Street, Georgetown, Penang.






In addition, not to forget to share with you these special street arts which they transformed the telephone booth into a fitting room and a haunted room. They are just located right opposite the "Little Children on a Bicycle" mural. But I found these creative street arts are no longer there during my third visit to Armenian Street.



Then, I found this piece of art on the floor as well, located right beside the telephone booth. But now it is no longer there.


 (5) "Reaching Up" mural, at Cannon Street, Georgetown, Penang.


(6)  "Broken Heart" mural, at Love Lane (near the junction to Chulia Street), Georgetown, Penang.


(7) "Little Girl in Blue" mural, at Muntri Street, Georgetown, Penang.


(8) "Children in a Boat" mural, at Chew Jetty, Georgetown, Penang. Note: Chew Jetty is another attractive site in Penang which you should visit. I will write about my leisurely exploration at Chew Jetty in a separate post. 


(9) Last but not least, "The Awaiting Trishaw Paddler", at Penang Road, Georgetown, Penang. (p/s: sincerely apologize for this very bad quality of photo. It was taken by iPhone inside the car, hence..........sorry)


There are plentiful street arts as well as wire arts which I can't wait to share (in a separate post). I just can't stop exploring. I'm going to visit Penang again to "hunt" for the 101 Lost Kittens and Secret Gardens of Earthly Delights as well as restaurant/ cafe with special concept and palatable foods. So, please stay tune for more posts about Penang.
