Graffiti in public space is an illegal act here, one will be punished by law of a jail term and cane. The recent case of an expatriate did an illegal act or trespassing into protected place and painted our clean MRT trains. He's in jail awaiting appeal.
Is this a legal wall? Some municipalities provide space like that for free expression. Of course the really talented taggers usually avoid them because the ... less-talented taggers kinda crowd things.
Seems like lyrics are the order of the day here, but I wonder what Neil Young would think of a "Burt Out Basement"?
wow, a lot of work went into that! Really good.
ReplyDeleteI would soooo love to be going to Key West again...we haven't been since 1997! LOVE these pictures. There isn't a place in the world like Key West!!

Key West is a very interesting eclectic place. I don't recall seeing this wall of graffiti n art when I was there.
ReplyDeleteCool! I am always fascinated by graffiti. Love the guitar player on the beach. Excellent collection.
ReplyDeleteThat guitar beach scene is great! Daisy Dayz Home
ReplyDeleteThere is some really cool art on this wall. What is the wall for in particular?
ReplyDeleteAll of these art pieces are fun...even some of the graffiti! I haven't been to Key West in years...how I would love to go back!
ReplyDeleteStopping by via Wordless Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteNeat art... can't believe some of it's just graffiti.
Love your blog background and elements!
This was such a wonderful mix of stuff. Loved it! Makes me think there should be a photography book of just good graffiti!
ReplyDeleteThat's some great graffiti. Had me singing some of those old songs. I've never been to Key West but it looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteYou really captured the mood of Key West. Great images.
ReplyDeleteHave to be honest, not a lot of fine works here, but you sure found a few gems in the rough ;-)
