The Pit May 11, 2008

Nothing new at the pit this weekend (too cold, windy rainy, +/- police presence for IHAA traffic control). Since my last post, a new piece by ENDER and ?CEAS has gone up (and HIERO added some red highlights to his gold piece)

Underpass Pillars

The pillars under the Chain Lake Overpass offer some space to put up graffiti undisturbed, perhaps allowing newer writers to try out bigger fills and start towards larger pieces.

SAOS and BEAM both seem to have been taking advantage of this location recently, which has had a fair amount of turnover since I was last out there.

Wheatpasting

Wheatpasting is an art form related to graffiti, that derives from posters put up in public places with wallpaper paste - ie: flour and water, ie: "Wheatpaste"

The subject matter is often more artistic, or shaped, compared to the old flybills that were(are) put up for advertisement. Recently wheatpasting has been growing in popularity, and has been cropping up more frequently around town.

ACEs Low

I saw the tag above on a daily basis for weeks, without any desire for a picture of it. When I asked myself why - the obvious reason was that it has to be the single ugliest tag I've seen, not to mention that it is on a private residence, which crosses a line.

But then I wondered why the owner hadn't painted it over. The house was repainted a year or two ago. Surely there is some leftover blue down the basement. Maybe the owner knows what a lousy piece of work this is, and figures that the tagger should continue to see it and hang his head in shame as penance. Or maybe the owner just can't be arsed...
