I found this image on Flickr. I really enjoy the grungy look of the spray paint. It reminds me of WWII / Cold War propaganda, not really because of the composition or type treatment, just the fact it looks like something that would be painted on the Berlin Wall. It definitely has some Plakatstil influences to it with the use of 2 flat colors. I'm not sure if the words on either side are supposed to be apart of the composition, but I like the atmosphere is induces. I also love the feeling of movement and anxiety of the ballon floating away. Maybe the artist is foreshadowing the coming of something bad, or maybe it's representative of the emotional distress of growing up.
