maybe I am


Saw this on the mailbox near Marshall's campus. This mailbox is a tiny gallery.
The German translates to "My world has changed"
A quick tag on the side of a power box. 304


This one is a little dark but you can see ANKY at his best.

some big letters from the train tracks
This is a clever sticker. "Panda's are cute but will they kill you?"
maybe.

Some things just make sense.


I can't get enough of stuff on trains. You have no idea where they came from. A canvas on wheels. Anywhere between a coalmine and a powerplant you can find one and that is all the context you get.
Good use of punctuation.
I started to wonder why the graffiti from parking garages are on the higher floors.

A bit illegible but the silver curls contrasted with the red are pretty to look at.

Think about it. The lower floors fill up first. Therefore there are less people on the upper floors to interrupt the graffiti artist in the act.
I am pretty sure if I sit here long enough I can read these.

Stencils! I love stencils. What better way to reproduce a tag in clear manner. Bonus points for making a face. Everyone has a face, easily identifiable.

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.

On the Walls of a small church

Words of Civil War soldiers found on walls of small church
In November 2008, Klusmeyer hired workers to clean the inside of the church, which had not been used for several years. As the workers began removing layers of paint, they were stunned by what they found and called the bishop to say, "I've discovered something you need to see."
Morgan's Chapel provided housing for both Confederate and Union soldiers at various times during the Civil War. Among the notations is one dated as early as March 5, 1862.

There is a photo of one of the pieces in the article. I want to know if anyone out there has been to this place and if they can provide me photos. Graffiti is nothing new. The longer it stays up the more likely they will try and preserve it.



The Wicked Worm Beast.

a bit off the top to start with


Can't go wrong with a face.

A good Boya! I took last year.

A healthy amount of paint comes down the train tracks.
