Nottingham has a lot of street art, and most of it is located around Sneinton Market and Woolpack Lane on the edge of the city centre and in the creative area. More street art has been painted in Nottingham this year for a street art festival, but I am afraid my photographs from Nottingham date from last summer.
I will kick it off with one of my favourite murals that I discovered in Nottingham, "The Usual Suspects", a witty ensemble of colourful characters fashioned out of sock puppets. This may have been a collaboration piece with artist K1030.
Opposite Woolpack Lane is a large salmon-coloured building with characters in the windows.
Also in this area is a multi-eyed fish.
A chicken and a seahorse.
And this crying monk/friar.
Sneinton Market is located a short walk away, and there are a couple of pieces on the walk down the hill and at Sneinton Market.

The below mural features some familiar characters (in a blend) from "Futurama", "The Simpsons" and other cartoons.

I did not register who created many of the artworks, and some of them were not tagged. Please comment if you know who created the work. I was happy to see so much talent in Nottingham, though I don't think I've seen any of these artists create anything in London.
