Does this count as graffiti? We loved this street art concept by Juliana Santacruz Herrera, who decided to brighten up potholes and cracks in the streets of Paris with colorful yarns. Hard to go wrong when you make the city prettier and solve a public nuisance at the same time! You can see more pictures in this post from Freshome.com.

If you’ve felt the potholes on Wilshire Boulevard anytime recently, you would agree LA could really use an artist like this right now. The only challenge would be installing them quickly enough not to get hit! The artist also put a fun time-lapse video of the installation on her Flickr page.
