Graffitia collection of topical graffiti.

I came across this first photo

while looking around online. I

think it’s a clever play on the two

words. The artistic quality is not

necessarily in the graphics, but

in the message of the artist’s

view of the government.

This is from Brooklyn, found at this link.

This is a great piece on the

inefficacy of the media. I think

the imagery is both nostalgic

and forceful. This work allows

the viewer to draw from the

benefit of hindsight, and apply it

to the present, posing the

question: if war was spun

before…could it happen again?

Found at the Street Art Workers’ Site: link

I enjoyed this piece because it seems

delicate. I love the way this street

artist incorporates real objects into

his paintings. I think this is a great

reflection on the balance between

natural and manmade, organic and

mechanical.

Work by Banksy (UK). Found at his site: link

I had to put this piece in my

collection because I think it is a great

symbol of our current political

climate. It could be seen as a

political endorsement, or a protest

against the misconceptions of what

the poor really want. I love the witty

play on words, and the creative

layout that makes me realize how

often we pass problems like poverty

as if they were just an image in the

background.

Based on the site that I found this, I assume it is somewhere in the Pacific NW.

This work is where the former

U.S. Embassy was in Iran. It is

has a compelling impact the

moment you see it. This is

painted on a wall outside of

where the hostage crisis took

place almost 30 years ago. I

chose this because the emotions

it evokes are so powerful.
