Love this old Guinness advert mural of the old Crown Flour Mills cart entrance on Washington Street in Glasgow. It's been painted on the wooden board which covers it, and you can still see the ghost signs for the mill above it.

The original poster was created by the artist John Gilroy, who worked for the advertising agency S.H. Benson. The Guinness for Strength campaign was first launches in 1934.

Never Avoid What Makes You Smile (8 Photos)

This set brings together 8 pieces that use humor, surprise, and simple visual tricks to change ordinary spaces. A pigeon statue crowns the Duke of Wellington monument in Glasgow, a girl with bubbles rises across a tower in Long Beach, and a giant cat appears to crawl from under a brick arch in Cheltenham. Painted shadows, googly-eye interventions, a Janis Joplin portrait in Texas, a staged moment with a stone sculpture, and a snowman-shaped mailbox complete the selection. More: Made You […]

The Duke of Wellington statue on Queen Street in Glasgow this morning, with a new take on the traditional road cone by @the.rebel.bear. What you can't see from this shot is that the pigeon is doing what pigeons usually do on statues!

Love this homage to the Jeely Piece Song from A Sign of Humour on Dougrie Place in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow.

Written by Adam McNaughtan in the 1960s, the Jeely Piece Song is a critique of widescale demolition of Glasgow's traditional tenements and their replacement by high rise flats. Sixty years later, and many of the tenements which survived are still standing, while many of the high rise flats are now gone

One of the wonderful little mosaics in Wilma van der Meyden's Empty Bowl series around the Partick and Thornwood areas of Glasgow. This one is on an old wall on Cross Park.

I love the way this decorated bollard appears to be jogging along the Clyde Walkway in central Glasgow, like so many of the rest of us do! It's been painted by Negative Destination.

I love how this sign beside Barrowland Park in the East End of Glasgow has been positioned with a police box in the background.

As a side note, police boxes were invented by Glaswegian Fireman Charles Edgar in 1891, but until the 1960s, those in the city were red rather than the blue we now associate them with.

Another of the signs put up by A Sign of Humour on the Clyde Walkway in Glasgow. This one is by the IMAX cinema at Pacific Quay, and plays around with the distinctive shape of the building.

Love this new sign on the Clyde Walkway, but it definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category.

A red sandstone tenement on the corner of Hill Street and Dalhousie Street in Glasgow. Its ground floor is home to the newly opened Grateful Gallery, established by local street artists Oh Pandah and Ciaran Globel, and if you're into your street art, it's well worth checking out.

Since this time, similar community-based projects have been carried out across Glasgow, and indeed continue to this day.

The surviving elements of the late 1970s Garnethill Mural Project established by the artist John Kraska, who died earlier this week. This was one of the first community-based projects in Glasgow to create murals on exposed gable ends of the city's tenements as part of a scheme to improve the local environment.

I love this mural by Smug on Mitchell Street in central Glasgow, and I've been known to spend way too much time waiting for some unsuspecting person to be pass through exactly the right spot to take a photo of it!

I came across this mural by Palley today just off Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow, and was instantly transported back to the Sunday afternoons of my childhood and Glen Michael's Cartoon Cavalcade: Is it Penry, the mild-mannered janitor? Could be!
