Forest Graf

Here are a couple quick picks from my post Christmas hike in the woods in Montclair. Who knew there were graffiti elves in the forest?

I’ve been taking some vacation time over the holidays… hoping to get back on my game in the New Year… postings will likely be sporadic till then.

Challenge Everything.

So this is a re-purposed USPS sticker on a re-purposed stop sign… kinda cool. Unless of course that stop sign was still performing an important function. Safety first peeps!

I do like this message though… the handcuffs are “ignorance,” and the key to unlock them “education.”

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!!
