I have a thing for graffiti...





I love graffiti.  I've always been stopped in my tracks by it but am just recently learning more about street art thanks to Juxtapoz and a vast amount of time on the internet.  I just watched Banksy's "Exit Through the Gift Shop".  Twice.  I need to conversate with someone about it.  Is this for real?

Somewhere there are some pix that Dad took of me and Janey when I was about 16 by a beautifully tagged wall we found in the city.  I was wearing an old army jacket that I'd covered with pins and sparkles (very 80s) and had freakin horrid hair (very VERY 80s).  You remember that look doncha?  I'd love to take another, more slightly educated look at that wall now.  I'll try to dig those up for a laugh.

These two pix were taken on one of my favorite walks.  Specifically under the freeway bridge along the way to Trestles.  There is tons and tons more graffiti there but I have to figure out how to get to it. Stay tuned...

  1. I remember that wall, that jacket, and that hair! I'll look around for them too.

  2. Whoa, I started watching that on Netflix! I'll have to finish that tonight if I can get off the internet long enough to get some work done. :P

    Love these, keep 'em coming!
