    I don't think I took one graffiti picture when in NYC last week. It is so common here.
    So, how about some Houston area graffiti pictures soon? :-)

  16. That's pretty cool, and what a great idea. There's some very good graffiti art in my area, I should go take pictures! Thanks!!

  17. I just can't help myself. I equate graffiti with gangs. Too many years in law enforcement I guess. Have a great WW. :)

  32. Graffitties can be very artsy, too.
    I truly admire such artform. Interesting, eye-catching, engaging.
    I think it's cool to have your own work displayed in a gallery. Congratulations.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hope you have fun with the show. This graffiti is so weighted with weariness, I find. But in a good way, art-wise. Subject-matter-wise, it's rather melancholy, but I'm attracted to that.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wow, it's quite striking and powerful.

    ReplyDelete
  35. That is some pretty awesome talent there - especially when you consider the medium. Great pic!

    That's really awesome! I hope your exhibit will be a success. Enjoy the day.

  65. Hi Sandy, very meaningful picture. It seems as if it is urging you to speak up on the Wordless Wednesday.

    There is no graffitti art in this part of the world. Graffitti here are mostly political statements with no art.

    I have posted on the negative aspects of education which was triggered by your 'blog your blessings' this week. Let me know your comments.

    Best of luck for your exhibition.

  71. Art is in the eye of the beholder, eh. My friend who works for the city sees graffiti as more paint he has to remove.

    But this, this he may leave up!

    Very cool.
