The other side of art or Graffiti in the city

Following on from this mornings post, this is to show some tagging or in my mind, less beautiful art in the city, I came across these ones the same walk where I shared some shots of signs for my Wednesday Walk post yesterday

Again tagging @enginewitty, not sure if you want to see this style of tagging

As I said I came across these bits of graffiti on a walk through Shoh one morning, I like the artistic grafiti and murals and am not so keen on these which I think are called tags but I am noo expert on Graffiti so I could well be wrong

If anyone knows the correct terms for these bits of graffiti feel free to let me know

And here is another piece I came across along my walk, the color yellow seemed to be popular for these pieces my only comment on this one would be I do agree with the Love your self painted on it, if you don't love yourself how can you love or support anyone else!

And a final pice which I suspect was newer as it was more vibrant and fresh I guess than the others.

Would love to hear what you think of this style of Graffiti, as I have said I am not that impressed with it and that why I havent shared many shots of this style

unless stated otherwise all photos used in my posts are taken and owned by myself, if you wish to use any of my images please contact me.

Interesting you should mention the style - it seems to be common - I see that quite a lot here too! I found it interesting that these are mostly yellow though... Those I've seen here are usually black and white (intentional or lack of colour cans, I wonder?) or outright colourful! I must start collecting shots too! :)

I must pay attention and get more shots of these i normally just walk on by them, and now I am intrigued if the yellow is common in the city or just in this area

I actually admire a good tag. Those guys are breaking the law and know it so they do these projects in couple of minutes. There is some pretty creative thought that goes into them.

Another trick that we learnt from nature and its animals isn't it? To mark your territory? Dogs do it with urine and we do it with paint and then another comes and place their mark over it.

I wish cities reserved spaces for tag artists to work. The desecration of buildings would be avoided. Your photos are great though!

This graffiti is pretty close to the way we tag people in Steemit like @enginewitty. This sentnce fits real well with the whole post:

Again tagging @enginewitty, not sure if you want to see this style of tagging

The style of tag is like a graffiti tag.

I am not sure why I just normally walk by them I guess I just don really see the artistic side of them, but I must be more watchful for them fro now on I guess

I have seen some.amazing graffiti!!!! They are true works of art... But sadly... Open to MORE graffiti sprayed on top.of.it!

I agree with what someone said in the comments... A place where people could spray graffiti freely would be cool!

But I don't think it would stop other graffiti hehhee a lot of that is gangs marking their territory. But it would. Be nice to have a place where the beautiful ones could be viewed!!

Thanks for your visit and I do agree an area where they could tag freely may be a good idea and save some businesses from having to paint over tags they do not like

PS, I got a strange email from kickstarter about my donation and I am not sure if it went through or not so I sent some through Fundition

Thats the cool thing about art we all have different tastes, I cannot even draw a stick figure so I appreciate the talent that goes into these pieces but I do prefer the murals over these personally

that said I do regret they shut down going to that old factory near Lowes I loved visiting there and seeing all the art

I got warned off last time I was there saying it was a construction site, and threatened that they would call the police if they ever saw me again so I never went back, but did notice they had done a lot of cleaning up when I looked from a distance a little while later

When I was in middle school I was back there with some friends on our bikes. Cops pulled in and told us to leave... On the way out my friend hopped off his bike and closed/locked the gate with the cop cars still back there hahaha
