Basically, what it comes down to... (the Graffiti & Street Art thread)
« on: February 17, 2012, 09:45:59 pm »
I've been driving past this little graffiti installation for a while now, and I kept meaning to take a picture.



I was tempted to add "like there's ants in your #####" to the bottom.

Kush is one of several interesting graffiti artists in the city.  I love to see photos of Graffiti and other street art so please use this thread to share any photos you capture, and I will do the same.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

Oh man, I have been singing a version of that song to children in order to induce giggles for so long that I have forgotten my own self censorship!

There is nothing that cool around here,  but I just found this site. Look at the buildings with tentacles coming out of them. I want some!

I'm pretty pleased about the interplay of the light.

The artist was kind enough to actually print the image out and paste it up there. Unfortunately, it's been removed.

Graffiti here is really shamefully bad, considering basically half the city is crumbling factories.

Although the other day I saw some that I thought summed up the city as a whole. Picture the scene:

To your right, the former site of Sportsman Park. Home of the Cardinals and the Browns until the 60s. Host of many World Series, now demolished.
To your left, decrepit/collapsing factory surrounded by barbed wire. On the wall of the factory is some graffiti:
STL CARDS WORLD SERIES 2011! with a big Cardinal next to it.

About 4 years ago I was at the Arlington Arts Center and one of the exhibits was a graffitied wall. The gallery hired a guy, then hung 8x10" canvasses random on one wall. They guy came in and painted the whole wall then they sold the canvasses at like $80 each. Elsewhere in the exhibit he'd tagged model trains with tiny graffiti. It was pretty cool but it was almost entirely red-dotted by the time I got there.
