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 think this is probably my favourite mural from this weekend's Yardworks street art festival at SWG3 in Glasgow.

Love this Primal Scream-themed decorated junction box on Kelvinhaugh Street in the west of Glasgow.

Love this new bit of Billy Connolly inspired street art on a junction box on Argyle Street in the Anderston area of Glasgow, close to tenement in Dover Street where he was born.

Freshly painted walls on the arches alongside the Clydeside Expressway in Glasgow, all ready for a new set of murals to go up. Can't wait to see what this batch will have to offer

Love the eyes on this mural from Merchant Lane in Glasgow.

And just a reminder for those who are interested, the Yardworks street art festival is on at SWG3 this weekend. If you like your street art, it's not to be missed.

I love the effort that SWG3 have put into bringing high quality street art, and a much-needed splash of colour, to the streets of Glasgow.

Really looking forward to their annual Yardworks Street Art festival at the start of May.

Another great mural brightening up an otherwise rather dull orphaned gable end in Govan in Glasgow. By artist KMG, it was inspired by the themes of family and migration.

It is part of the GRID (Glasgow Riverside Innovation District) project from Yardworks which aims to unite and inspire the areas of Yorhill, Partick and Govan using public art.
