Graffiti

A Long Wall of Graffiti

Someday walking around the streets of New York City you find stuff like this. And I wonder how one would react when one arrives the next morning and finds the wall like this, or perhaps, on a Monday after the weekend is over.

I’d LOVE to get your reaction.

This wall must be about 60 to 70 feet. Click on it to get the a better view.

My reaction? Wow!It would be interesting working along a Wall like this…. I only hope the pavement is in a good state of repair as I would be looking at the wall all the time and not where i was going!

  Really…. digesting about 70 feet of wall art. And if your partner or boss at work did not understand art, there could be fireworks.
  
  Thanks for your in put.

I’m curious if the same artist did the entire stretch? It’s magnificent. Here in San Francisco’s Mission District there are tours given for the fantastic walls of graffiti art. It has to be seen to be believed.

    There’s no doubt I’ll be back. Your blog looks very interesting! Like you, i too have over a year’s worth postings (February anniversary). My early work is admittedly somewhat ‘light’, but I enjoy learning and expressing what life teaches me so hopefully my newer works have a decidedly more ‘complete’ feel. I invite you to take a look or read at your leisure.

That’s really great graffiti. A blogger from NY had told me today that the city missed graffiti grandeur like the one I shared form Amsterdam. I need to give your URL to her. Thanks. Beautiful shot.

    As does Johannesburg! I have done quite a few graffiti tours here and now find a lot of stuff in my own too. Steet art is quite popular in SA.

We have quite a bit of this around Richmond. Some of it’s very good, some not so much. Yours here looks pretty good.

You “liked” this when I posted it, but I’ll put it back here again anyhow:

Waking up to see this in your neighborhood is sure a way to unplug from the reality of the everyday life.

  Isn’t life an illusion in really? Everything we do, see, hear or touch has already happened and not happening. For instance, when you look at your beautiful face in the mirror it is the reflection of you a tiny fraction of a second ago. What I mean to say, nothing is really what it seems like…so we may as well live in a wonderful colorful world in our minds, even if it doesn’t seem that way on the outside. And may be by doing so the hardships of live will be easy.
  
  Thanks for picking in.

    Yeah, our memories is our reality, which is the reason to create beautiful moments in our minds by processing things imaginatively.

  I really appreciate your observation,,,,It is a ultra-wide angle shot that is edited to remove Optical aberration. This is a photograph which will look great enlarged. Imagine this on your wall.

    well as much as I appreciate your genius = I would not want that on my wall – in fact, I have a closet full of paintings and photos that I just can’t hang up because I prefer some bare walls – if that makes sense – and so even though that one is unique and mighty fine = I am glad it is not mine.

    I certainly can understand your point of view. Thanks again for commenting.

I am nodding along with so many of the comments here, I would love to wake up to see an old grey wall full of drama and colour. It is a work of art for sure when done so well. Maybe busy cities push out a better quality of graffiti than others so. It’s amazing how a city’s style develops. Awesome food for thought.

  Honestly, I just LOVE the way you comment on posts. It feels like you have really looking, reading and in a strange way listening to inner working of the author. They are well examined and delineated. Thank YoU so so very much….And I wish you come more often. I thoroughly enjoy your visit.
  
  Thanks again.

El Rolyat on March 29, 2015 at 3:26 am said:

My first thought would be Wow! That is incredible!
Then I would wonder – who painted this? How Many people painted it? How long did it take?
I’m assuming it’s illegal to do graffiti of any sort, so this person/those people would have had to do their work under cover of darkness and Very Quickly – it’s mind blowing!
I hope it stays…

  I’m enjoying your comments…in fact a few days ago I saw a sign that said that GRAFFITI IS A CRIME. I should have take a picture of it, may be next time. Thanks for pitching in.

I didn’t see the kid you captured in the shot at first. I saw him when I clicked to enlarge, and slowly scrolled from left to right. He just slid into view beaming like that. He adds to the graffiti.

Good panorama.

  It seems like U R the only one that noticed that kid. I guess you must have been the only one that enlarged the shot and scrolled across. I wonder why!!! I have had so many comments and you are the only one that mentioned it. Thanks for enjoying it. I think thats the way you can really get the whole experience.

Personally, I seek out walls like this here in Los Angeles. It amazes me how fast someone, obviously artistic, can put up one of these professional-looking murals. I think a lot of abandoned or non-descript buildings here have been elevated to art galleries by this phenomenon. I love the one you are featuring. It’s beautiful!

While there is no doubt many graffiti artists are talented I don’t think it gives them the right to spray any wall they like. When done right it looks great but some would not like this on their garden wall.
