Half of the photos are “graffiti atmospherics” where there’s a tag in the background of a couple kissing or something.
There is a lot of really nice work that shows up though, so I went through and pulled out some favorites. Here they are, with commentary.
Grime city. I love when street art type stuff gets mixed up with raw scribbles like you see in this scene. It’s great. I especially love the character poking his head out and surviving in the background.
Amazingly, I never saw this in person. I’m just never around there when I’m in Manhattan anymore. I’m always in fancyville these days and never make it much further south than, say the 20s or upper teens.
I think I need an intervention.
This is a great photo. The KEM5 piece is nice, but the whole thing comes together as a photo.
The colors and overall wall here are super cool.
This is one of those atmospherics, but… I love animals and I love graffiti, so I’m sharing it.
Sue me.
(not really. i don’t like courtrooms.)
What’s not to love about a freakin’ in-action train bombing shot like this? Nothing. That’s what.
This is a killer color combo, has impressive scale and the dude flexed at the top cracks me up. BOOM.
AROE MSK Bringing full on destruction to the wall.
REYES has some nice styles. I wouldn’t say he’s slept-on, but… he’s got some unique touches to his letters that just work for me.
OS GEMEOS. I thought there’d be more work by them in the “interesting” results. Not sure why they were so underrepresented.
Yeah, it’s 5 Pointz, but still… c’mon! Look at that!
Killer style. I love it. The science fiction flavor is where it’s at. In feel it reminds me of VULCAN, if not in actual style.
