Graffiti

I'm very fond of graffiti, and like to take snaps of pieces which I encounter on my rounds. People have been painting on walls for 30,000 years! Makes oil-on-canvas seems like a passing fad...

Pigs Came

An aborted piece of graffiti, barely started. A note explains pigs came.

A cheeky little bit of scrawl, spotted in Little London.

Orange Woman

Graffiti art - an abstract/nude woman, in orange and sienna.

Another one from Replete, by the look of it. This piece has existed since at least early November 2009, but I didn't get a good photo until today. It's done over the top of his Orange and Blue Woman.

Stop this seasonal madness

Small painting of a rat, dressed as Santa, at the base of a dustbin in Leeds.

Santa Rat says:

Stop this seasonal madness. Go home and eat chocolate.

Update: It's gone... somewhere. Santa-Rat was painted on the inner part of the bin, which I suppose gets swapped out for another whenever they are emptied. Perhaps he's gone to another bin! (1st Feb 2010)
