now with less authenticity

Okay, so I have completely failed at posting pictures of the day for over a week.  To make up for that, I’m going to post some art made by other people.

I love graffiti because I think that everyone can and should appropriate public spaces to make art. Photographing graffiti makes me feel somewhat poseur-ish for making pictures of other peoples’ creations instead of making my own. However, I am comforted by the fact that these photographs help to document a relatively short-lived art form.

    Thank you. Out of all the graffiti I saw in SFO, the escalator was my favorite, probably because it’s so Banksy-esque.
