draw conclusions on the wall

The wonderful thing about cities is the raw vitality they exude. Every city is full of people who are collectively full of ideas, views, positions, manifestoes, agendas. Of course, this means conflict, and crime, and lots of opportunities to get screwed over by your fellow humans. But it also means street art! Street art from New York.


Scrawled, probably in Sharpie or the like, on a construction site. Trite, say some. Poignant, say I.

I have no idea what this means, but it's graffiti that has the word serf in it. Serf's up! (I know many, many bad serf puns.)

Advertise your store using spray paint. Heck yes.

What? It's so orange! It makes no sense! I like it.

Ok, so the imagery is overused. But still good. Better than what I could do with a can of spraypaint, which would look pretty much like the symbol once used by the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince...

In the surroundings (decrepit old lot) somewhat fitting. I also like the little vampire figure under him that says "Reality Bites", even though I dunno if you can see it. Also fitting, but I'm not sure precisely in what way.

Elvis plus Uzi equals Kinda Cool. Actually, I hate Elvis, despite all he did for music.

All pictures taken by yours truly. I feel inordinately proud.
