![http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/fasolinoj1/graffiti.jpg](http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a73/fasolinoj1/graffiti.jpg) took them about 2 1/2 hours according to the security camera. i personally love it. this isnt our building (it is the view out of the office), but they started on our building and either ran out of paint or time. i hope they come back to finish our building and maybe do some other spots. i am gonna go out and buy some blue and green for them to use. the flurescent orange aint my thing. just realized the picture doesnt do it justice…this is really a work of art. cant read it for the life of me…or i should say what i think it says makes zero sense. who cares i still like it and didnt pay a dime for it ---

[quote=“Coldaccord,post:5,topic:28596"”] damn its a small town [/quote] i had a feeling you might know/this might look familiar. i remember you making comments about this in another thread. the surface of our building is coorigated, not brick. i hope this doesnt top them from making use. ---

i only know the rightmost one. im not a fan of tagging. mostly everywhere is just bombs. but this is an actual piece, and looks pretty cool. i regret that there are no longer designated areas for this stuff, I think it definately reduced what was done on private property. still not an advocate of it though ---

i really wanna know how some of these guys do that shit like on bridges or overpasses…in the center of the bridge…no ladder tall enough unless you have a firetruck…and nothing to stand on…what do they do, just dangle from a rope off the side of the bridge? and i see art in places like that all the time…takes balls, plus when you consider what they’re doing is illegal, and they’re restricted on time…crazy stuff…some real talent out there, too bad it’ll never become useful ---

this is all new as of sunday the picture doesnt show all of it, there is more to the left, but total length i say just over 40 ft. white part of the wall is just about 10 ft. is this someone property that someone painted? yep. do i consider it vandalism? nope the wall was just white before. this isnt a bank. it isnt a government building. it isnt an amazing piece of architecture that is scarred by the addition of this. as long as it isnt vulgar or anything i think it is great. otherwise the wall looks drab and reminds people that this section of town sucks. i hate to break to people but this is really a nicer thing to have in an area where the nicest people dont travel to. i would rather have 6 kids/people come do this around here than sell crack or have whores. which btw is another common thing to see. yes this is someone elses property, but imo this is the best way to use what is otherwise a shitty plain white wall. ---
