graffiti alley

So there's an alley way off Valencia St., next to a thrift shop. I've dubbed it graffiti alley, although I'm sure I'm not the first to call it that. I had posted a couple pictures already for when Ferris and I went there the first weekend I was in San Francisco.

I don't think I'm going to write much, but instead just post the pictures up for your enjoyment. I find them incredible.

These are more I took this past weekend when Jeremy and I revisited graffiti alley:

These two bunnies framed the middle of the building where there were stairs and windows. If you can't read it, the left one says 'No War for Heavy Metal' and it's farting a bubble that says 'We are scum'. The right one says 'There Goes the Neighborhood'.

I love seeing artwork up and around in the city. I already have a number of random sidewalk stencil art as well that I've taken pictures of.

They are definitely not as impressive as the wall graffiti, but they are really fun to come upon walking around the city.

I am so going to steal that "Love me Till My Heart Stops" graffiti...gawd, some people are so beautifully poetic...I'm so JEALOUS of them for thinking of it first.

I know, it's crazy, I literally was walking over it, skimming what it said, then stopped, walked back and took out my camera. It is beautifully poetic indeed.
