More on Graffiti



I've been keeping an eye on this wall for the past couple years. It faces a corner where a lot of homeless people hang out. I pass through from time to time--once, to give some away some pizzas--but otherwise it's a little too dirty/dangerous on foot by myself.
The 1st piece was just a line drawing of a man wearing a hat done entirely in blue paint. That got painted over very quickly but obviously without the use of a ladder as the top of the hat is still visible. After awhile I noticed the spirals and these really cool green heads--there are 4 in all--signed by Midzt.
Recently on lunch with an old friend, I noticed that the heads have been embellished with blue swirls and drippy blue rectangles. AWESOME!
Compare to my earlier post about graffiti.

Edit on 09.06.06, 12:03 p.m.: There are actually 5 green heads. I always forget about the tiny one.

I've seen this too - it's excellent. A little Barry McGee ish but this is a little more playful.
