Graffito

Cool?

Awesome?

Different from Vandalism?

I for one like street art, it sometimes has some cool humour, a political statement, or just looks awesome.

Anything cool around where you live?

Discuss.

There's some great graffiti just down the road from me... I'll have to kidnap a camera and go take a pic of it.

The whole building has art on it, and it looks cool. I think at one point the city said they were going to get rid of it, and there was an outcry from the public because it's such a landmark, so they decided not to.

But yeah, if artfully done, I am all for it, but sometimes it's just pointless.

No graffito here. The most elaborate piece of graffiti I seen in this town is a mary jane leaf drawn with a sharpie. Was an acquaintance with someone who done graffiti in one of the bigger cities I used to live in. Where he done it I haven't the slightest clue, since I don't see much anywhere in the big towns. And in my early high school years I used to draw "graffiti" on paper, if ya wanna call it that. I guess I was kinda inspired by the acquaintance.

Graffito is like a cardinal sin around here the way you see the police/parents/COC acts. O_o

one of the coolest things that happened recently around here is people made a bunch of stickers of Val Kilmer's head.

and then people started going around and colouring batman masks on them.

how awesome is that?

Not exactly graffito, but I noticed yesterday when I was walking around, that on this one stop sign someone put a small sticker that said "Big Chris doesn't" above the word "STOP". I was amused.

Note quite graffiti, but at work we put up a lot of awesome stuff. We had a giant Pac Man and Ghost made out of post-it notes that were stuck to one of the windows. We also have a lot of lol-cats stuff (I sit at the front at the Shift Leader desk and my monitors are covered in "Mam, I are the supervizor" and such).

Also, I sit next to NMC, who run the entire Australian network for our company, so they hate fielding stupid questions from Support members, so I put a shop on Moses computer that has a biblical Moses parting the Red Sea with the caption "if you approach me with a walk-up I will part your face".

There's some nice stuff in Ottawa, much of it sort of hidden away - shame I can't find pictures of many of these things. One I found...

And then this one buy a guy called Maki, who used to be at Carleton, who's got this really neat/different way of drawing animals. Again, shame I can't find more pictures of some of his better stuff... My brother got to chat with him once, cool guy.

Haven't seen any in my new area (Waterloo) yet...
