Graffiti Wall 2/24

     

We took a trip to the graffiti wall which is down by the river on the southeast side of St Louis. The area was industrialized as seen in the picture to the right.

Some of the images that the artist would draw would be something that you would see from someone on hallucinates and I came across a part which someone painted LSD which was fitting for the images.

The wall is about 3 miles long and we only walked about a half of a mile of it. These two photos caught my eye the skull on the left reminded me of the Dìa de Muertos, day of the dead, skulls but with out the bright colors. It is a Mexican holiday where they pay respects to the dead. The picture on top is of a red bug and the background behind it is of a city which is not visible but i like how they bug was in red and black.

These are two pictures of octopuses that I saw at the wall they were not that far from each other. You can see the difference in the style and how the artists portray things.

I am not sure what exactly this is suppose to be but like the the colors and the detail in it. it looks like it writing but made out of a metal creature this was one of my favorites at the wall.

These three pictures are something that many kids might know the top is the X-man symbol and the bottom two are characters from Mortal Combat, sub-zero and scorpion.
