1. Cactus Pipe
Cactus symbolizes endurance. It’s often become a gift to plant lovers. If you love cactus too, then this art might be the best one out there for you. You can even place a shelf of cacti near it so it will blend in seamlessly.
2. Spilling Pipe
Holy smoke! This pipe is dripping some colorful liquids out! Somebody quick! Turn it off before it floods the place! This inverted U pipe has one end painted colorfully. There’s even some spillage effect colored on the ground.
3. Mario & Peach
Our lovely Italian plumber, Mario is having a sweet time with Princess Peach at this small corner. These classic characters always have a special place in our hearts. This installation is probably best to put right next to a gaming store!

4. Pipe Climber
This is something for the climbers. From the bottom, the silhouette of a man slowly makes his way up the pipe and all the way to the top. Once he reached the top, well I’m pretty sure someone could come up with a phrase that sounds better than “now what?”.
5. Weird Lizard
Urban arts take in many forms. In this very specific corner of the urban jungle, we get to see a weird lizard taking a peep over the ground. It might be freaky at first but it seems harmless and just look at those friendly eyes!
6. Taking A Dump
If you have a huge pipe responsible for channeling sewage waste out, this is one way to highlight it! The art takes the advantage of the connection part between two pipes. It helps in creating the illusion of the man sitting while taking a huge dump. That constipated face is spot on!
7. Fox Climbing
Look! A curious fox is checking out its surroundings! This rare and magnificent creature climbed all its way up the pipe to have a good view and perhaps a good time! A simple coloration of reddish orange and black strokes is just what it needs to create this creative piece. The painting surrounding the pipe too gives a nice illusion that it’s interacting with the pipe.
8. Orang Utan
While we last heard from him last week for the Memorie Urbane Street Art Festival in Italy (covered), Ernest Zacharevic is now back in Malaysia where he spent his Sunday afternoon working on a new series of pieces around Kuching.The talented Lithuanian painter brought back his interactive street art with this new piece showing an orang utan chilling by the pipe while holding a bag of coffee?
9. Lisa Simpson Playing Saxophone
Is that a gold pipe? The unique shape of the pipe allows the artist to creatively turn it into a beautiful saxophone! It’s always nice when you’re walking down the street and then bam! Someone’s playing saxophone there!
10. Snake Pipe
11. A Pair Of Legs
Once upon a time, someone think it’s good to put up same pipes side by side. That’s when creativity strikes! What once were pipes are now a pair of legs. With consideration to avoid vandalism, the artist actually uses chalk to draw his art here. It’s good temporary art that have interesting potential. Artists can be putting this around the city and people have to find and take pictures of it before the rain washes it away!
12. Flamingo
It’s a flamingo formed from the unique pipe installation on this wall. It’s almost as if this pipe is meant to be drawn into that of a flamingo. Because, there’s no other animals that could fit that shape!
13. Pixel Pour
Believed to be the work of artist Kelly Goeller, this splashing sculpture is the second such piece of its kind. In 2008, Goeller installed the original Pixel Pour, seemingly spilling digital water from an existing city pipe.
14. Walking Stick For Cartoon Character
You might have been able to recognize this cartoon character from one of those classic Disney cartoons. It has been brought alive and now roaming on the street with a walking stick!
15. Lizard Drinking Water From Pipe
Urban arts don’t always take the form of paintings and drawings. They can be in unique concrete form as well. It’s unnecessary for this lizard be there but hey, it’s thirsty. It wants water and there’s no other place to get fresh clean sky juice than to wait for it right under the pipe!
16. Saxaphone Boy
After the Lisa Simpson, now a new guy emerges into the hit board with some crazy saxo beat! The artist painted this angled pipe into that of a golden color. Other paint parts are added to its surrounding to complete this amazing piece of a kid playing saxophone.
17. Hanging By The Pipe
Hanging upside down is not only something that Spiderman do. This guy does it well too! While it may be seemingly impossible for a guy to even hang himself upside down in that position, it’s pretty okay as it’s just an urban art after all. Seeing such art by the street will certainly raise some curiosity. He could possibly be Spiderman without the suit!
18. Plumber Fixing
A plumber fixing a pipe? That’s classic! Almost all pipe piece makes sense to have the art of someone cranking the pipe with a tool. This projects an idea as if the person is fixing it. That’s a pretty good marketing idea too for plumbers!
19. Elephant Face
Simple creativity is just what we need to add little cuteness to the street of our town. This little blue pipe becomes the trunk of the elephant. The cartoony elephant looks friendly and would catch the attention of little children!
20. Leaning On Pipe
This is like an advance piece of art. The huge cartoon head with an attitude is leaning in a very cool way on the pipe next to it. There’s lots of textures and coloration, this character is the work of a master!
21. Umbrella
The pipe in blue flows from the sky just like a stream of water. It flows from one umbrella to the other and right to the ground. Rather than having the art goes around the shape of the pipe, this pipe goes around the art!
22. Yarn Spill
We can use almost anything for art. This is true even if we use yarns! This pipe has pinkish yarn flowing out of it!
23. Yarn Snake
Watch out! That’s a snake! It’s another art installation made with yarns. Those who don’t look carefully before threading their moves might freak out upon the sight of this magnificent art.
24. Mario Fixing Pipe
Mario is working hard to make ends meet! This fun and geeky art works amazingly well especially when it’s placed right next to the painted-green pipe.
25. Heart Pipe
Lonac has created an impressive animated heart beating piece at a secret location in the Croatian capital Zagreb. He has used a stepped approach and mixed it with stop motion animation technique in the piece. Lonac uses the building’s original pipes as arteries and paints in steps to create the appearance that blood is pumping through them into the heart.
