from the mountainhomes

here is some graffiti from Morgantown. Who ever is one top should be more mindful of drips. Presto!


oh lordy.

its kind of primal. MPD?

Someone doesn't like the police.

A little non specific but damn that's gonna piss some people off.

I am not even sure if this is graffiti but when you live on a hill...
oh its a chalk thing! funny.

by the tracks.


Tape. what kind of tape? scotch tape? duck tape? masking tape? alright that jokes old. Very nice tag. A little drip on the "T" but clean.

A little closer we can see some Syker above.

Imagine the human hand moving to do this. Slow it down frame by frame.

A bit faded but this is only evidence of a tenacious color choice.
"Im going to tag... both boxes!"

Urban expression


I couldn't get to this one in time but all of the big stuff on mailboxes recently has me thinking its some theme. Or just a really good flat place with a consistent surface for paste. The metal mailboxes expand and contract with the temperature and can wiggle pieces loose if you do something this big.

This thing is creepy but in a good place.

Frontal female nudity in three priority mail stickers.

Dent just wants us to know that he can do traditional graffiti as well as these large predrawn pieces.
bang bang bang.

Hawks Nest Carvings


I Went to Hawks Nest State Park and went to one of the lookouts and there were some old carvings. This was the only paint there. Made things classy. You might have to click to get a better look at some of these.

pardon my foot. It reads: A. D. Hamilton. PITTS PA

a door is a work of art

When they say the writing on the wall they mean the restroom.

some crazy sticker things.


this is the whole door. It layers so naturally. May they never paint this thing over.(A little hard to do with the stickers)

A very simple and bold thing.


I entered the middle elevator at Smith Hall on Marshall's campus and I saw this thing scribbled there. I came back and pushed the button a bunch (to the dismay of several faculty members) until I got the middle elevator and took a better photo.
To me it looks like Joseph Stalin holding Oliver Twist. But I could be wrong. A beautiful idea. Wheatpaste actual drawings at the bottom of doors. Unobtrusive and with clear creative merit.
A simple tag. xs instead of dots and a line through the o. Norse God of mischief. I saw another one of these and I thought to myself "this guy has a damn good theme going"


Its a monkey in a dress comforting another monkey. Now assuming these monkeys and Stalin are by the same artist we can ask ourselves if this wheatpaster (or is it tape?) is a Marshall student or if they are associated with other wheatpasters in the area such as Visitor, Dent, or Magog. Speculation is free and sweet.

A big meaty bit of news and something from Monongalia county

Artist puts his yolk on city.
I've heard about these eggs in Charleston. Someone went as far as to paint bacon with one. Oh-No is painting eggs. Everyone eats eggs... not too big... its brilliant. A good interview with the Artist in this.

The Herald Dispatch has an Editorial about punishing Graffiti offenders which boils down to this.
"In theft cases, that threshold is $1,000, meaning that if the value of the stolen property is $1,000 or more, the offense is a felony with more harsh penalties. It's not clear why the threshold for a felony destruction of property conviction is $2,500, when the loss to the property owner is just as real. That discrepancy should be fixed by lowering the threshold for a felony charge when people deface or destroy property"

They also published eleven photos of graffiti downtown. The 4th and 9th photos are my favorite. They both feature visitor or one of the other wheatpasters. squid, zombie, deadface. also make some appearances.

A lot of this backlash recently is because the influx of people to Huntington in the fall. Two artists were caught in September behind city hall. bad timing? or a heavier police influence?

As promised here is some graffiti. which is from neither Charleston or Huntington but Morgantown.


political. nice.

wvu will die in 2012? vengeful.
I think the star of David gave you away.



asian stencil theme?


oh get over it.
