2012 was an active year for the street art scene. At least, that's what it looks likes to us pedestrians. I'm incredibly impressed with Beirut's streets, especially with the storm the White Wall initiative took Beirut by.

The "best of" refers to my personal views and doesn't indicate the skill or others' opinions of the work.

Credit to White Wall for all images unless otherwise noted. To see more street art, check out their Facebook page.

Cheers to a vandalized 2013,
