CSC_0319Remember last year, when a young tagger named “S” showed us her first-ever stencil?

Well, she’s managed to keep going, and here’s her latest creation:

This fantastic piece inspired by Santigold’s famous album cover.

Graffiti Kings, you’ve been warned: This girl is on your tail.

“Hi Faran

I’ve loved Nylon for a long time and was really excited to see Nylon loved awesome tags too! This is a simple stencil I saw on the sidewalk outside my house in south Florida and just thought was really pretty.

-Gabby”

It is really pretty!  And also from one of the best movies ever, so thank you!

“Dear Faran,

After 16 years of standing out from holister hoodies and Pink sweatpants in a tiny village in ohio, mixing my own nail polish to resemble the latest chanel because my mom said buying it would be a ‘waste’, and blocking out katy perry and all time low with patti smith and the sounds, i finally got to visit the place i feel at home- new york city. Here are some of my lackluster graffiti finds, for all we did was follow a tourist map around midtown. Continue to be the light at the end of the tunnel, NYLON

forever greatful,

xxoo,

Emily.”

What a beautiful letter!  Thank you so much!

“Hey Faran,

London is teeming with amazing graffiti artists so it’s not unusual to chance upon some really cool street art – including the occasional Banksy pieces! These were found around Shoreditch which is one of my fave areas to hang out. The Banksy one below is in Portobello Market :)

Enjoy!

-Marissa”

Thanks! I love Oscar the Grouch (obviously).

Tag! Freeman’s Alley

Japan“Hi Faran,

I saw this piece of street art in Freeman’s Alley, the long sidewalk that leads you into Freeman’s Restaurant in the Lower East Side.

I don’t know if the number still works, but I thought it was a great way to merge social activism and graffiti.

Also I think the designer did a really god job with this stencil. It must have been huge!

Sincerely,

Leanna”

Thanks, this is a really great shot.

IMG_2438“Hi Faran,

I spotted this graffiti/ sculpture art in Montmartre, Paris.

When I first saw this, I almost believed that a real human was inside the wall and it might open its eyes anytime!

It took me some times to actually summoned up my courage to touch it.

Love, May”

How amazing, thank you so much for sharing.

“Hello Faran!

I was walking down the Capitol area in Cebu City, Philippines and spotted this 6-foot-graffiti on the wall.

The simple black and yellow combination made a big hype in the middle of the busy streets of Ubec.

I snapped a photograph to show ya!

I’m really a fan of NYLON since around 2007 or earlier than that.  Hope to see this one on the NYLON blog!

Kisses from the PI,

Rotten Nuke (Aurora Ypil)”

Thank you!  I believe this is our first piece of graffiti from the Phillipines, which is super exciting.

rocio i love you

Reader Sophie Boka spotted this little cutie on the bottom of a lamp post!

Awwww.

Looks like he’s painted in chalk though, so he might not be up there for too long.
