Graffiti


1. Banksy love, 2. ZAP, 3. Graffiti, Hasselt, 4. Graffiti por "osgemeos"

A while ago I saw this movie about graffiti, it was pretty amazing. I've always loved graffiti and consider it an art form. In wiki there is this interesting article, in Pompeii after the volcano eruption graffiti was preserved on the walls and it included curses, magic spells, declarations of love, alphabets, political slogans and famous literary quotes!
There is a street here in Greece, were there is graffiti by many artists including the osgemeos team from Brazil, the last photo is their work. The second photo is a Greek artist, he is pretty amazing, you can check out more of his work here.

  2. love graffiti art! I think that would be better to give the artist some spaces, in the cities, to make them, some of them are gorgeous and nobody can see them!

  10. I love a good graffiti but I dislike the random scribbles you see far too often. They are usually disturbing I think. Lovely links! :)
