Patrick....these are really good.....some graffiti is really amazing. There was a wall that a bunch of kids purchased in Africa, it was covered with the most beautiful and amazing graffiti. I didn't get a photo of it, where it is located, makes it a little hard to get the shot.
Some kids have all the talent.

Great post Patrick. It's too bad these talents aren't utilized more in good ways.

Hmmm....wondering what the neighbors would think if I commissioned the artist to do the outside walls of our house?

There's a place in Dallas called Deep Elum that has tons of urban graffiti - these shots remind me of being there. Nice pictures
