Brooklyn?

Ah. This explains it:

Kind of takes a bit of the fun out of it, though.

Thumb Biter said...

That's strange. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Brooklyn, but maybe the same artist has tagged Manhattan...or I saw it in a book, lol.

Peacey said...

That's the most intelliegent graffiti I've seen in a while. :) All I have around here are gang tags. x0

isn't graffiti supposed to be bad? it is pretty cool though...

purplecrazed said...

makes me happy too haha
it looks kinda like it was made of cardboard and taped to the building...O_O

EQ said...

A wise person once said about graffiti, that the people who did it should be ashamed because when they had the chance to create something beautiful, they made something ugly. I think she meant tagging though.

Wait, that was a person in a movie called "The Gryphon".

Ah well. Wise saying anyway.

Recently I was in Malaprops in Asheville, and I was looking at a book about female graffiti artists around the world. It was awesome :D

Marie said...

There is not very good graffiti (yes brave chickens "street art")here in California it is mostly unreadable "bad words" 0h well.

the book theif swears in german
i am the messenger swears a ton
umm the john greene books swear a kittle but i think an abundance of Katherines has the least amount
the luxe series is like a way toned down historical fiction mystery romance gossip girl

I live in a small city in NC, but we have some cool street art. Someone goes around and sprays these little turtles and fish everywhere. We also have some really amazing murals downtown. They rock. :)

what about howl's moving castle? or anything else by Diane Wynne Jones, for that matter(dark lord of derkholm is a good one.)

liltomboyblue said...

Last Anonymous: I have never read the book Howl's Moving Castle but I have seen the movie by Hayao Miyazaki! It's amazing.

Reel Dancer said...

Marie said...

Omg all the bookworms who read this blog should each submit a list of their top 20 favorite books beside kiki strike and we could make a top 100 favorite books list!!!I have always wanted to do something like that!Anyone in?

Thumb Biter said...
