a thread devoted to stuff you see (on or off bike bike, I suppose...I take pix on my bike commute) from tags to bombs to full blown walls....?

I'd rather not debate the validity or legality of graffiti art either, unless you must.

I know there are lots of graff art sites, but this could be bike-related in a way.

Maybe RM needs an Art forum. maybe not.


Just a thought.

there are some good pieces in my neighborhood. I used to ride all over & take pics of the pieces i liked. they are all on 35mm so i would have to scan them.
I love graffitti & once aspired to be an artist, but was only a young punk & a marker.

I did gain some graffitti fame in my raver days. : : : Thanks to a news story on raves & evrything BAD about them (graff being one bad thing). I wont incriminate myself with details though.



EDIT-nice piece too. our best (IMHO) artist is from San Fransisco too.

That stuff is great..........for me to poop on.

Seriously, I dig stuff like the one above that are actual art, representations of a person or thing.

But I hate, I mean HATE "tags". Scrawled gibberish that nobody can read. Id love to buy space on a billboard with a photo of a number of "tags" and the following text: "99.9% of the people who see this think the person that did it is a complete moron."

Ruff!

Actually, the National City Crips (said so on their blue jackets) came to Santa Cruz in 1980-81, threw down some linoleum and busted moves....the (we) punkers on the street were like, "huh?". Wish I had some pix of that.

Here's a LARGE wellknown piece, you can see Saber standing near the top of the 'B' -big or small get out the digicams and show your 'ville.
