tag“Hey Faran!

I’m staying in Dijon, France with some friends, but last month I was in Nürnberg, Germany with my exchange student, and I stumbled upon this.

xoxo Nathalie U.”

It’s true: sometimes you just don’t know what to do. So when in doubt, make super adorable street art!? Thanks Nathalie!

If you see cool graffiti (or more giraffes!) send it over to faran@nylonmag.com!

Tag! Lego My Ego

tag-legoWe got this photo in an e-mail with the following subject:

“8-foot fiberglass Lego Man is spotted washed up on Topanga State Beach, CA this morning… Ego Leonard has arrived.”

According to Wiki, Ego Leonard is a Lego enthusiast, sculptor and possibly an anonymous street artist.

So this 8 foot beached Lego man is likely his, but we’re having fun pretending it’s a lost prop from Honey, I Blew Up The Kid. Either way, it’s rad!

Send your best street (or beach) art to faran@nylonmag.com!

monoply-street-artWe found this one on the web, not out on our actual street, but we had to share this Monopoly art with you guys!

The not-quite-life-sized but bigger than your average game board street art hails from a Chicago sidewalk and was made by the anonymous “Bored” artist(s).

Though your Monopoly money still isn’t going to work as legal tender, admiring the art is free!

And of course, keep sending in street art in your city (to faran@nylonmag.com) so we can admire that, too!

Thank you!  And I wish we could say your name, because you deserve credit for this great art.  Sigh.

“Hi Faran!

I just came across some rad cupcake graffiti in an alley within downtown Sacramento, California.  I took this photo myself.

PS.  It totally matches the same color as Nylon’s logo. ;)

“Hello Faran!

While studying abroad this summer in Senegal I found this awesome graffiti against a brick wall in Toubab Dialaw.  :)

Erin Mae”

This is awesome – we’ve definitely never had graffiti from Senegal before.

“Hey Faran,

I took this picture of Bert & Ernie all jazzed up, just down the street from my friend’s house in Hanover, Germany in June of 2012.

Cheers, Asuka”

This is really fun – Ernie and Bert could totally be The Blues Brothers if they wanted to ditch their shared apartment for a tour bus.

If you have graffiti, don’t hold back.

Send it to faran@nylonmag.com so we can share it on the blog!

Lovelove to you too, Alexia!  And honestly, I was so obsessed with the little bees on this old door, I didn’t even notice the giraffe!  But he’s great.
