38 Boston Graffiti and Street Art Photos From the Archives

I promised it a couple of weeks ago and now I deliver. I’ve got over 1,100 photos from Boston and environs on Flickr. This is a selection of my favorites.

It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when I didn’t really like this guy’s stuff. NO LONGER TRUE. I really like his stuff and am sharing it for that reason.

I(T)D

One of my favorite Boston walls ever. EVAR.

You vandalism.

Old School + Survivors

Some of these are old photos. Others are photos of old graffiti. Either way they’re cool.

A vintage photo from the Graphic Violence skate contest. The piece is in Jamaica Plain.

Almost 30 years old if it’s still running.

These alleys are since buffed.

This tag isn’t all that old. That said. It’s a verifiable Boston classic.

Street Art

Anyone got a credit on this? I’ve photographed this stencil twice and GOT NO CLUE.

The good stuff. Lots of ALPHABET SOUP.

Famous Out of Towners

RIP NEKST.

RJ

This guy put in a lot of work. He paid a price for it, of course, but put in a LOT of work.

Random

This is how to do a rooftop.

Lots of bike commuter traffic for this one.

I just stumbled upon this deme5 electrical box. It’s in a pretty good spot, just somewhere I never go.

From the recent Bartlett Yard event. So cool.

I don’t have a photo of the rat he did on the Orange Line. This tag will have to do.

A nice crisp piece in a weird little spot.

Now gone.

I just like the style.

Me

And finally, me. I’m supposed to ignore myself?

I dig this photo.

Fun times, painting at City Hall.

Apparently, this piece is still running (mine at least.) It’s very old.

More fun.
