You can find some interesting murals on the walls of buildings in New York City, but did you know some of them involve advertising? Here are a couple of advertising murals I found in Manhattan.
It is always fun to find new murals, even ones that advertise products. I find these a lot more interesting than bill boards. What do you think?

These products are out of my league. Businesses used to have written ads on buildings long ago. Sometimes they might include an image like eyeglasses.

These are interesting murals, I love how murals bring art to otherwise dreary buildings. I especially like the Canada Goose artwork, the Gucci one is funny, (I like how the windows add to the look. There are many murals where I live, even the many graffiti taggers respect the murals.

They seem to respect the murals in NYC as well. Although the taggers are evidently getting more aggressive recently so they say. I don’t mind it. Most do a great job. It makes it like a treasure hunt to find them. I think the artists behind these advertisements did a great job as well.

I agree that some graffiti is art not just vandalism. I actually dislike advertisements but the ones you posted, are interesting, the first one especially i think is art. The murals where I live aren’t ads, they usually feature images of indigenous culture, urban culture, Latino culture, women’s empowerment etc, it’s very beautiful and political. You’ve inspired me to photograph them and post them. I grew up originally in Maryland, there were no murals there so when I came to the SF Bay Area I was amazed.

You should post pictures of them. It would not be just me who wanted to see them.

I think the Canada Goose one is nice because it shows First Nations people.

Comforting to know that the graffiti artists respect the work of artists of a different genre.

I have put up a few artistic walls on my blog so we do have some interests in common.
