Theme Day: graffiti

This month's City Daily Photo theme is "graffiti" which probably means different things to different people.  This mural, which I'm guessing is not a paint and run job, is located at 45th Avenue and International Blvd.  The building looks empty, but who knows?  I have to confess that seeing Fred and Barney made me laugh out loud.  Close inspection reveals that this work has been tagged.  Irony?  Click here to view thumbnails for all participants in this month's Theme Day.

    We are not sure the Flintstones qualify as grafitti; they are stars!

    This is like a grafitti hybrid -- half commercial art form and half street slang. Cool. Oh and Welcome back!

    Oh, I want to be in the car with Fred and Barney! "Let's ride
    with the family down the street
    through the
    courtesy of Fred's two feet. . ."
    Oaktown, where street art can get you killed or put in a museum! Woo hoo on this find :-).

    BTW, you are right, all different kinds of stores participate in the Art Walk that I showed today on HDP. In many cases, the art that is selected for a store's window is related to the host store, either thematically or maybe by colors, etc. Food shots for restaurants, kid stuff for toy store, etc. They do a nice job.

    Yours I would say is an authorised painting. Nice job.
