truncation

I love how graffiti adds to the personality of a space. As natural as the vines.
NYE

Isn't this guy from Morgantown? hmm.


just a spot of graff on the door but I thought the whole scene was nice. click it for a better look at the graffiti.

Guilt by associaton

There has been a lot of work done this summer and catching new pieces has been rewarding. Photos of recent stuff soon to come.



I like the proximity of the two.comun
This last one really caught my eye.

I have an Idea


Suggestions sought for floodwall art

A local committee soon will be calling on artists for suggestions, designs and renderings for concrete art panels that will line the floodwall in downtown Huntington.

The Floodwall Art Oversight Committee, organized by the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce's Young Professionals Committee, plans to publish a request for proposals by the end of the month

The committee is considering two themes for the floodwall panels -- a historic timeline of Huntington and the significance of the Ohio River and railroad -- but are open to more themes and different designs

The panels would be located near the main entrance of Harris Riverfront Park, facing downtown Huntington.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to make downtown look better but the cheapest option is to make the wall public. Open season on the floodwalls. At least then we can get some color. And a train? Trains already pass along the floodwalls. Do not be discouraged from submitting ideas, it is not exactly your $20,000 either.

pressure wash


I am officially out of photo's until I borrow someones camera or readers send them in. I want to use this as an opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to this project. If we can not stand together we will be pressure washed down and forgotten.

This must be from city council elections. Did you know if they lose and don't pick up every sign they distributed they are can be charged with littering or vandalizing property. Perks of winning I guess.



this was in the Charleston Town Center Mall parkinglot

I meant to take a photo of this wheat pasted yearbook section but I
closer shot. Who is this?


Found this on a door at the top of a scary staircase.
Thanks for reading

what does that creepy saw puppet say near the begining of that horrible film

I added a scorecard to make it easier for me not to repost. What do you think? Even the newspapers can play.



twins!

There is no graff in this last one. I just wanted to share it.

Charleston is a good place to live.


Charleston is a fertile place if you know where to look

this is what I would call attention to detail.

Another of Slither's creatures. Saw some of his professional work in a gallery the other day. I liked it. Recreating the environment and the atmosphere of graffiti is no easy task.

I like the two tones and the illusion of being one line.

If my vision does not betray me I would say this is on the side of a csx train. CSX doesn't paint over nearly as often because of the recession but when they do they use a solid black which is perfect for this color combo. On top of that bonus your art is hustled from one side of the state to the other.
