Post your favorite graffiti. I'm talking real graffiti, not stuff done with photoshop or on a canvas.

This is my favorite style. I love the color, the typeface, the cartoon characters and how it all comes together.

(My favorite one might be one the side of the local police station. Man that guy has balls!)

I don't care for the tasteless defacing of public and private property with gang-inspired "art."

Hrrrumphff.

On a side note, why does the "perp" on the anti-graffiti billboard look like Ted Kazinski with a Kim Jong-Il bouffant?

some dude who apes various handstyles.
the kadism style is spot on.

i was surprised to see the video b/c i thought kad had stopped writing a LOOOOONG time ago
but he was up EVERYWHERE and you still see his tags around (which is pretty amazing)

Swoon is one of my all-time favs (hers is the woman in the middle, done in wheat paste and paper(?))

And REVS, who went from tagging in spraypaint to "tagging" in sculpture.

Not my favorite individual piece, but by far the most amazing collection. Its a place called 5 Pointz in Long Island City near the Queensboro Bridge. Its an old warehouse that now houses various artist studios. Looks good in pictures but in person it is unreal. Anyone else ever been there?

found some more cool pics of it here http://www.fraudwasteabuse.com/2007/...york-city.html

I enjoy seeing the freightcars that end up parked along 1-80 and downtown (I am assuming going through UP's railyard).

I am more into streetart (i.e. Banksy) than grafitti though.
