Cool Graffiti!

Just had a wonder around town earlier today and took a few snaps on my smartphone of some cool graffiti I saw out and about. I think it's pretty neat, enjoy!

Oh, got plenty of time to walk around looking at graffiti but no time to buy me a Guinness? Huh?!

Pretty cool, I expect that they will be pretty faded in a few years though.

The wave one and the last one have been there a fair few years and are still going strong

i remember a story in the news about someone who threw paint over a wall that banksy had painted on out of pure jealousy of the owner of the wall.

The first few at least are part of an arts project called See No Evil which happens every year. They new ones have only been up a few weeks when it launched again, and there's a lot more than pictured.

They're constantly vandalised. After all a lot of graffiti "artists" are unfortunately also vandals.

The secret lover on Park Street was splashed with paint and partially recovered and the sniper opposite the hospital was wrecked and has since been replaced with something else, though I don't think it's a Banksy.

I thought those banksy pieces were always a bit overrated. The ones I've put photos up of are much better in my book.

Could you send some of they Brizzle artists down to London, please? Place could do with tarting up.

Tripnologist · 6 Sep 2012 at 13:18

I do really like this one.
I'm just posting this image as the shot you have doesn't show it all. (though this one doesn't show it completely finished haha)

Sick of this guy being mentioned. He's nothing more than a common vandal.

I hate how people are starting to quote him like he's some sort of oracle.
