Berlin's Sub Culture

While in Berlin I went on a "sub-culture" tour, which explained a lot about the city's history of street artists, squatters, and graffiti art. The city seems to attract a lot of creative people, not just street artists but designers too. ;) 

Jose from Portugal was commissioned to "re-create" an 

original painting he did on the Berlin Wall.

This building had been taken over by squatters in the 90's, but now houses a number of alternative artists' studio spaces. Every inch of the building is covered in graffiti, but that's just how the artists like it.
