Citizen by El Bocho
Street of the Paris Commune
Quite a large four storey mural on Straße der Pariser Kommune, Friedrichshain, just across from S Ostbahnhof. I get the impression that there was another face on the right hand wall but this was too faded to make out properly. http://bit.ly/1sgSzQk http://flic.kr/p/nAXEhc
Tree children mural
I came across another Victor Ash mural today while walking through Wedding. This is quite close to the S-bahn station and seen across the court of a petrol station. It seems to be a tree where three children are watching with binoculars. ( http://bit.ly/1j9ejZ1 ) http://flic.kr/p/nzAzix

“The Pink Man” is a mural by the Italian street artist ‘Blu’. Painted in 2007, it is at the western end of the Oberbaum Bridge in Kreuzberg. The five storey tall monster is made from lots of smaller humans, one of which he appears to be about to eat. http://flic.kr/p/ncGcWE

Boy sitting by Alias

My search for significant street art in Berlin took me to Cuvrystrasse in Kreuzberg. I was looking for a two part mural by the Italian artist Blu.
