Meanwhile in Europe

Here's a down and out angel I saw in Europe I think it was in east London.

Banksy Wall and Piece

Positive Messages and Social Change.

Here is a prime example of how graffiti can be used to do something good for society. Graffiti can pack a huge message and reach a large audience if it is done correctly.

Back when I was starting out

I remember seeing the Kilroy was here drawing that my bestfriend's dad had in their basement I didn't know what it meant but we started drawing on stuff haha. Little did I know that it was relevant to graffiti, in World War || James J. Kilroy inspected ships and other steel weapons and signed them Kilroy was here the man was added later and it comforted soldiers and became a morale booster (Gastman, Neelson, 38-39).

A little sticker

I really like this sticker it's in a few spots around my campus, I would love to see it with color and in paint but I can't condone writing on things on the Internet.

You can't catch him.

Here's an homage to the fairy tale of the gingerbread man and the characters ability to escape from his enemies.

This is art???!

Here's a structure that is suppose to be art, I think it is garbage compared to the stencils and other graffiti I've seen. I would rather see a wall designated for graffiti than having to look at this abstract piece of crap!

Smile

This isn't really graffiti by my standards but it's cool and is deeper than vandalism, but still is defacing the building I guess. So smile :)

Batman and butterflies

These are some cool stencils I found perusing the campus. If its hard to see they are small butterflies and the batman logo under a bridge by our library.

It's not always vandalism

This is another set of stencils I enjoyed around town. Graffiti can be a legitimate artform, you just have to acquire a taste for it I suppose.

Stenciled!

Here's a picture of the stencil I did with an airbrush this weekend. I will be posting an instructional video as soon as I can edit it!

Come on over... To the darkside

This is one of my favorite local stencils, if your looking for art just go find the nearest bridge or road with an underpass. That's where all the best art builds up.

Chalking.

This is a phenomenon going on around my campus. It is my least favorite trend happening right now.

Angel, London

Alright so I've been all around the world and I've seen some great writing, one of my favorite is Banksy. Here's a piece with some meaning behind it. This piece is a satire about the broken window theory, which says that when people don't have everything neat and orderly crime prospers. Graffiti is suppose to be a gateway to violent crime but I don't see this art causing problems.

Painting in the news!

I was reading the local newspaper last month and I ran across an article that was on the topic of graffiti and more specifically, those who do it artfully. In my town there has been a few stencil artists who have been going crazy with some decent stencils so I've got to give them props and I'll upload some pics soon!
