AAOh my!

Somebody brave sent us this photo of a tag-in-progress.

Kind of wish this image could be the cover of “Shoplifting From American Apparel” by Tao Lin.

Graffiti“Hey Faran!

This was down an alley in front of Montjuic in Barcelona, Spain.

photoReader Kate Greene sent this neon angel.

It comes from Nashville via Instagram, and we wish it also came as a textile pattern.

Hearts

Spotted thirty minutes ago on Prince St. and Mott St. in Soho, NYC:

This mural of hearts and helicopters.

It’s on the wall of The Little Cupcake Bakeshop, which also boasts a Shepard Fairey lotus flower (and inside, some really great blue velvet cupcakes).

Who wants to claim this one?  Do tell.

Tag! Bondi Beach

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

Beach“Hi everyone !

Here is a tag from the wall of the Bondi Beach Market in Australia.

Besides this peaceful message that I think people should read every morning, I just love the way it’s painted.

Full of details, shapes, colors, …

How beautiful is this whole painting?!

Tag! Argentina

Monday, March 12th, 2012

Argentina“Hi Faran!

I saw this graffiti in an alley in front of a pizzeria.

It’s Mafalda (a cartoon character from Argentina, if you have the chance, read the books, they’re awesome) and some of her friends.

Hope you like it (:

–Anne Larios”

This is great; thank you!

Tag! The People’s Republic of Warhol

Friday, March 9th, 2012

SoupSpotted on the edges of Chinatown, NYC:

This photo inspired by Andy Warhol’s soup cans, but covered in Chinese writing and the words “repressed” instead of “condensed.”

The art is by LOL Von Shan -

The same tagger who did the “Free Ai Weiwei” campaign last summer.

Tag: Howl!

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Howl“Here’s something cute in Downtown Guelph, Ontario! –JJ”

This is great.  This also comes with a confession:

The black coyote had been partially covered by other graffiti in this photo, but I redrew it in Photoshop to try and restore its original howling position.

So, does that pink color also come as a nail polish shade?
