IntARTnational

Why does it seem like even though we are considered to be "the most up-to-date country", we are still 35 steps behind others. We are considered to be the land of the free, yet we have limited freedom when it comes to certain things.

As you know, graffiti is prohibited almost anywhere in the United States. That doesn't seem to be the case in other countries. Once again, another reason we suck in more ways than one.

We take you to one international spot which has reserved a whole road for the young & restless to spray paint their dreams as they please. This road is Tumblingerstrasse in Munich, Germany. Check out this toy movie created to show off this really cool place.

Now let's fly a bit more east to reach another country known for it's super admiration & respect for art, Japan. Now this is a country 75 steps ahead of the game. They are known to pay very, very, very close attention to detail like no other.

They recently exhibited this monstrous action figure. It is a 60 ft. replica of the infamous Gundam action hero. The monument actually moves & even blows out smoke from it's body as if it's about to take off. Take that Lady Liberty.
