Happy Halloween 2010

In the spirit of Halloween, graffiti artists take it the streets. In this case they took it to the train yard. Bozo, Gets, Serum and Bronz painted this end to end train with a Halloween theme. Benched in Mexico.

CDP Crew in Los Angeles

This wall was painted last year in Los Angeles. This wall is almost like a roll-call. I like seeing walls that so many people work on at the same time.

User submission - Southern California Graffiti

Thanks to Batle663 for the pictures. Most of these were painted in 2007 and 2008 in Southern California. It's great to see many of the same people that were painting a few years ago are still active today.

Will You Marry Me - Los Angeles Freeway Graffiti Proposal

What is the proper way to propose to a girl? Most people will say, get down on one knee and present her with a ring. This graffiti writer had a much better idea. He risked his life and climbed out on the ledge of one of the busiest freeways in Los Angeles. I hope the girl said yes.

Will you marry me?

GraffHead Video: Way of the Gun

Way of the gun follows a graffiti artist as he tries to recall what happened to him. Watch as he masterfully paints a character while slowly putting the pieces of his actions together. Update: 15 work in progress pictures from this video.

Los Angeles Graffiti Rooftops

Rooftops get noticed and get buffed less than street level walls. That's a win-win for graffiti writers.

Thanks to Hier for the first three pictures.

Tyke AWR 1996 and 2010

People often mistake bands or actors having overnight success. Most people pay their dues over many years before becoming known. The same goes with graffiti. Most of the time people that paint great pieces have been doing it for many years.

The skills do not come overnight. I recently flicked a piece by Tyke/Witnes on Melrose on the Baracuda store wall. I remember seeing pieces by him in the 1990s at the Motor Yards. It is always interesting comparing pieces done over a decade ago with current work. In this post, you can see one of his pieces from 1996 and a piece painted in 2010.

K4P 2007

I love to see walls holding up after many years. This wall was painted in 2007. It shows lots of wear, but most of it is still holding up really nice.

Else and Relax completed this wall a few weeks ago. This wall has a been a work in progress for over a month. I kept thinking that it was complete, but every time I came and checked on it, there was more added to it. There is lot more wall space above Else's piece but I think it is done.

Los Angeles Graffiti on Rooftops

These are all currently running rooftops in LA. Rooftops are more effort to get up to than street level spots, but many times the effort is well worth it. Rooftops tend to run much longer and much more visible.
