Daniel Raven-Ellison is a city explorer. He says, “When I travel, I always keep my eyes peeled for unusual ... art” This type of unusual art is often out on the street, not inside buildings. When Raver-Ellison finds the art, he looks at the surroundings and thinks about why the artist chose that place.

Raven-Ellison also looks at the art itself. He wants to understand what the artist is trying to tell other people. He believes that sometimes the message is playful and amusing, and other times it's beautiful and amazing. Sometimes, the artist may have no message at all.

The art that Raven-Ellison likes the most shows the artist’s opinions. He likes it when people can “hear” the message above the noise of the city.
