Graffiti

STOUTjodee @STOUTjodee (3670) • United States 22 Jul

Good evening mylotters!! How's everyone's Tuesday been? I believe there is a place for graffiti, but when you're just graffiting some one else's property without their knowledge, that's a crime. When you work out in the public,...

Underneath the rail lines out of Waterloo Station is a 300 metre long tunnel, now known as Leake Street. In the 1960s it was used for storing wine, but today is London’s graffiti tunnel. It was born in May of 2008, when Banksy...

This one is all about graffiti artists (they call themselves artists, not me...) from around the world as they stealthily battle with the cops and authorities to tag the worlds streets and buildings by night and day. Some of it is...

Do you approve of this graffiti on a restaurant table?

Pitstop @pitstop (15551) • Australia 24 Sep 24

This restaurant I walked past had outdoor seating. Someone had done this graffiti on one of the tables outdoor. I don't know if this is permanent ink or something that wipes off. What do you think about? I'm not sure if the...

Street art in Collingwood, Melbourne, Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382036) • Rockingham, Australia 21 Dec 22

Our son lives in Collingwood, an inner suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was once one of the less affluent suburbs but, being so close to the city centre, it is now quite a trendy place to live and is gaining a name for...

An interesting afternoon

Fleur @Fleura (34989) • United Kingdom 26 Apr 22

As I was cycling around on a few errands this afternoon I spotted three interesting things. The first was a bird, which came swooping along behind me as I cycled along a residential street, zooming over the ground at a height of...

Healthy graffiti?

Fleur @Fleura (34989) • United Kingdom 1 Nov 21

I know I seem to be posting about graffiti a lot recently but one underpass in particular seems to have become a canvas for some quite artistic works. This recent offering is not only attractive and nicely painted but even seems...

Graffiti artists seem to be getting more talented

Fleur @Fleura (34989) • United Kingdom 9 Oct 21

There’s a fine line between vandalism and beautification. The graffiti artist ‘Banksy’ seems to have made graffiti respectable and even desirable, maybe that’s having a knock-on effect? In any case there seem to be some talented...

When is it vandalism, and when is it art?

Fleur @Fleura (34989) • United Kingdom 19 Apr 21

Railway bridges and road underpasses around here tend to be a magnet for mindless graffiti, usually just pointless unreadable ‘tags’ or sometimes offensive messages. But recently someone (or some people) have upped their game and...

An interesting hike with a friend the other day

The Horse @TheHorse (238298) • Walnut Creek, California 2 Nov 20

My current hiking buddy, Rob, and I took a hike at the Berkeley Bulb the other day. It's an interesting place. It is largely landfill, with huge slabs of concrete complete with boot-grabbing rebar everywhere. It used to be a...

Writing on the wall

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 22 Feb 20

One of my interests is graffiti in ancient buildings. This is a not too old example taken from the ruined abbey at Netley in Hampshire, England. Sue and Jim left their rather beautifully framed names for passers by to view for...

Graffiti or street art?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (382036) • Rockingham, Australia 12 Feb 20

We saw very little graffiti in Nepal while we were visiting. Rubbish and litter was another matter. Of course, graffiti has gained a new respectability with being renamed ‘street art’. I wonder if there is a distinction between...

The Horse @TheHorse (238298) • Walnut Creek, California 13 May 19

It appears we have a graffiti artist on the loose in Pleasant Hill CA. I found this on my walk way a couple of days ago. I have a hunch that I know who the culprit might be. Do you think I should report him to the police? I do...

Do you think graffiti is art?

nick @nick2345 (485) • Greece 28 Mar 19

Hey everyone, what's your opinion about graffiti? In my opinion a graffiti artist can make a wonderful drawing and make a place better. But some kinds of graffiti like slogans and offencive words are not art and it must not be...

Someone climbed all the way up here to write this.

Michele @Aquitaine24 (12000) • San Jose, California 15 Mar 19

I guess these people think the message was important to go all the way up here to spray paint this.The sign is quite high.I guess having it seen was more important than their safety.
