While visiting Taipei we went to the Wanhua district, famous for its amazing street art. It is located in Taipei’s oldest district and is surrounded by history, great food and shopping. While San Francisco, CA has a great collection of murals, we were not prepared for how unique, large, and pristine the street art was in Taipei. In New York and San Francisco there is often layers upon layers of graffiti often obscuring one another in a jumble of imagery. In Taipei, most of the street art was unstructured making you feel like you were walking through a museum rather than an alley. We would see often time see people slowly walking doing an alley as if strolling a museum, pausing at a piece of street art that caught their imagination. Below is a collection of our favorites.
This is a view of the alley call America Street in the Wanhua district where we found most of the art. It is a fun art focused district to visit.

Japanese anime inspired art, Camilla d Errico’s works are cute and fun. The theme of most of her works are portraits of young women with bright color themes and cute props. Check out the toys and jewelry as well.
Juli Adams’ art is quirky surrealism at its best. Her topics range from children with huge monsters as pets to big-eyed portraits of girls with antlers to flying penguins. Her work has a modern Gothic feel with rich details and beautiful, dark colors. Sometime her work is a bit moody if not borderline creepy but it is always fun.
Beautiful, dreamy and strange, 
Although monsters and robots have had their troubles in the past us monsters at Hip Monsters love Johnny Botts’ art. He makes portraits of robots that are more sentimental and lovable than most portraits of children. The robots have a genuine innocence about them that is enduring.
Artwork for the pensive Monster, Catia Chien s work draws a Monster in. Saturated colors embrace her figures who reside in a dream world all her own. Her books are among our favorite short graphic novels with beautiful art and memorable stories.
