Anybody know who is the dude with the shades and 'stache? This image crops up a lot around DC. Of course, by asking this question I am probably just revealing how out of touch I am...

Anyway, from the alleyway at the Cosmos Club, Oly EP2, CV40/1.4 SC.

An old one, NYC corner of 2nd and Ave. A ca. 1986. This was the view out the window of my very favorite bar of all time.

yolk - nice! I especially like the second one. You can almost smell the paint looking at the images!

Thanks Yolk! Graffiti pretty much cries for color and it's been my color release while focusing on B&W lately..

Didn't realize how long the graffiti cover-up has been going on in this same alley. Here's one from last April, 2010

Seventh Avenue South, Greenwich Village, NYC around 1983...

So another Paste-Up. I've quoted the previous post from Harvard Square. This work is now gone, however there is another installation a couple blocks away.

..and a detailed portion..

barnwulf, it's interesting how some of this work is "going commercial".

Here are a couple snips of a wall at the Tannery in Harvard Square (Cambridge, MA) with a Shepard Fairey installation.

and this shows some of the layering affect created

A friend did a little digging and found this on flickr, showing the mural being put up in October 2008:
Paste-Up at Tannery

Will have to pull up some more of Faireys images from the Boston area. Also have some graffiti from a visit to Montreal this summer.
