Penang Street Art Painting, Malaysia

The history of Penang began in 1786, when Captain Francis Light struck a deal with the Sultan of Kedah. He acquired Pulau Pinang (Penang Island) from the Sultan on behalf of the East India Company, which in return promised Kedah protection against its powerful neighbours.

I had fun with a gang of friends on today Penang one day trip (June of 6th), walking around Penang Heritage Area and my skin almost sunburn, keep sweating and sweating along the whole trip. Well, Penang actually have a lot of interesting places to stopped by. Today, we go to Penang street arts there which contains a lot of creative paintings from those creative artist whom drew on the wall with different type of theme. Their artworks are so beautiful and cute! However, those artworks had been drawn for almost more than one year so the coloring of the painting may be fade a little bit but it is still a nice place to visit and take photo as part of your memory. I had captured some photos and share it to you guys so take your time and enjoy reading  my story of my day.

This painting actually have two themes. On the left is the little boy with pet dinosaur mural. The fact that the dinosaur is rendered in the form of child-like graffiti expresses the creative mind of small children and how they merge fantasy with reality. The right one is boy on a bike.
