More Graffiti

This is in the East Village...Do not park your car here to take a picture of the graffiti. It will get broken into in 2 minutes flat. Bleah...

I have seen better graffiti. I like the shapes in the green word on the left. The shapes make me think of a dragon, or forest. I have no clue what the word says so functionally it stinks, but it looks cool. Now that I look at the picture, I wish I had gotten more of the word on the right. I like the shapes there too, with the ovals and teardrop shapes. I'll have to go back, but next time I'm taking the subway.

Mural or Graffiti?

I'm pretty sure it's a mural, but what is the difference? (One guess what Street this is on.)


Clinton Street in Manhattan just south of Houston.

Here is a former student's tag I just found at a train station. This definitely isn't a mural, but it definitely is graffiti. It's not art, but some of the other tag-work he has done is...it's sad when he just defaces surfaces with crap.


I'll take a cheesy mural any day.

Graffiti In Regensburg

There is graffiti everywhere in Europe, but most of it consists of ugly, quick tags. This has that element, but it also has the Banksy-like man's head and shoulders, which I thought was interesting.

Graffiti on the Palace Gate

This is a continuation from yesterday's post. It is the same palace entrance with some nice graffiti. (I do not condone defacing public property, but if you're going to do it do it well.) I don't ususally like skulls either, but this has an illustrative charm!

On Graffiti & Shoes

On my way home from the Brooklyn Brewery I noticed some fun urban elements in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. If you're going to do graffiti art at least make it good...



I'll find some good urban art to post here. This will just be my urban element warm-up.

This is on Wythe Street by 11th Street, which is around the corner from where the Brooklyn Brewery is located. I highly recommend checking out the former Matzo ball factory in a tour. Tours happen on the hour every Saturday and Sunday beginning at 1pm and ending at 4pm. For More information!
