Question Everything.

It’s graffiti week here at Oaktown Art, and here is your next installment…

I’ve been wanting to feature these works for some time now, but kept hoping I would find another one to add to the mix.

Here’s the first one I found… a wheat paste on the same abandoned building as the lovely mural “May Peace Prevail on Earth” across the street from Ghost Town Farm.

I found the next two in the Rockridge / Temescal area. This one seems to be painted right on the sidewalk.

And then another huge wheat paste…

And this one is the true stunner. How in the heck did they do this?! If anyone has any thoughts, please send my way.

I love this campaign… it’s so simple, and yet you can’t help but wonder, and question, and think. If you’ve seen more of these around, please send locations… I’d love to go snap ’em.

Here’s another… added after a reader sent in the location. Thanks Mike!!

More graffiti art by the tracks.

This seems to be an organized project… lower left reads “Community Rejuvenation Project 2009.”

One Love

I’m fixated on graffiti these days…

Last week I was hired to shoot a local artist in the process of doing a guerilla street art installation. Unfortunately I can’t share the images till the story comes out, so in the meantime I’ll share some great stuff shot down by the train tracks one day while a friend and I were playing hookie. Here’s a lovely example of classic style writing… and such a positive message!

It’s a busy busy week and not much time, so these next few posts are going to be short and sweet… hope to see you back!
