It’s taken a few days, but here is the last (of three) of the blog posts featuring photos that I took this past weekend when I walked Graffiti Alley.
below: Levar Burton is my father, or at least that’s what’s written on the wrist.
below: Swimming with the octopi? Or else she’s landed in hot water? An other worldly mural by Planette.
below: Mural by earth crusher,
below: How can it be evil if there is a cupcake and an ice cream cone? I think that Choo Choo the cat from Hanna Barbera’s Top Cat.
below: Huckleberry Hound seems to have reason to fear the cops.
below: But everything is A OK with this guy!
below: The hamburger probably isn’t coming out of the garbage bin! It doesn’t look like she’s too impressed with it though,.
below: @kyleghostkeeper, another tattoo artist. Red eyes, eyebrows, and lips but turquoise hair.
below: A stencil and a sticker. Another @stick_tags “Are you living your dream?” sticker.
below: There’s a lot going on here – all small and not all noticed the first time in part because of the mess. The cat, a small man screaming, and the words “just a pawn” written a few times.
There are always words written on walls. Sometimes funny, sometimes profane, and sometimes just weird. Today, we have comments about selfies and queer witches. Both made me smile.
The next two blog posts are also from Graffiti Alley.
Hamburger Lady (behind the bins) has been there years and years — lovely to see her still-and-again. But all the others are new. Gawd, I do love this stuff… So much energy.
She’s usually behind cars too. I don’t think that i’ve ever seen her clearly!
Graffiti Alley has long been on my list of must-visit places … but I’ve yet to make the journey. It’s great to enjoy some of it through your post.
The painted garbage cans at the end are a nice addition to this artistic environment, but the door at the beginning steals the show for me.
