More Spanish Graffiti

author: Hapless : Miscellaneous, Spain

As I've previously mentioned, much of Spain's graffiti generously contributes to the urban art world. Let's take a look at some that I found: Madrid: I encountered the second outside of an upscale apartment. Does this perhaps give us a message about what wealth can do to us? Granada: Sevilla: These two characters are a common sight around Sevilla. I found what appear to be Japanese kana written on a wall, but I haven't the faintest idea what they mean. If anyone out there can read Japanese, please translate.

The Black Cat: Poetry in Spanish Graffiti

author: The Hapless Hobo : Granada, Spain

I recently returned from a trip to Spain, where I found lots of interesting graffiti in the larger cities. One of my favorites was this image that I found in Granada: As you can see, the first image is accompanied by a poem. Following is my (probably not very good) translation: "Black Cat" With you I speak, to newspaper(?), Being the dream Dictionary of my thoughts Open book! With your eyes, I see the clarity confused Converted... In light. Discover us, the life-- From your forms. --Deform us-- Following this, written on the cat's tail: Q: Where are you? A: In you. I'm not sure about the "newspaper" in the second line...I believe that's...

McBuffin

author: EvilGentleman : Montreal, QC

I found this buff in progress at the McDonald's in the Montreal suburb of Dorval, while sitting in the parking lot munching on my breakfast. The wooden wall around their garbage dumpster had gotten tagged recently. First, the pressure washer was used to remove the graffiti. It took some time and patience, and did not completely remove the tag. The next day, the painting...

author: luna park : New York, NY

This is quite possibly my favorite ruin in the Meatpacking District. Literally "steps away" from exclusive boutiques and trendy nightclubs, I find such contrasts fascinating. Mind you, they are fewer and far between in Manhattan... new york city manhattan meatpacking district ruin graffiti irak sace earsnot

The Freedom Tunnel

author: Peter : New York, NY

This is the north entrance to the Freedom Tunnel, on the west side of Manhattan in Harlem. I could go on and on describing this place, its contents and meaning, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves. More reading here, though: Freedom Tunnel Just inside the tunnel, looking north towards the entrance, early morning sunlight just starting to stream in. It was a hot day in NYC, but in the tunnel, it was much, much cooler, less humid, and filled...

Hockey Victory Riot

author: EvilGentleman : Montreal, QC

Montreal has an odd little tradition of rioting after major victories during the NHL playoffs. Usually it is after winning the Stanley Cup, but this time, the riots began after the first round of playoffs. Thousands of jubilant fans poured out of the Bell Centre and began celebrating in the streets after the Montreal Canadiens defeated their arch-rivals the Boston Bruins 5-0 in game 7 of the conference quarter-finals. A little after midnight, I became aware of the riots finishing up downtown. Naturally, I went down to have a look-see,...
