These are a few of my favorite things...

Here are some of my favorite photos taken during the time I have been shooting graffiti around Halifax.

WSC/ACV

WSC is a crew tag "Weed Smoking Children" that was associated with 3 tags - SAOS, DEAR and PRIME. Recently WSC seems to have morphed into ACV "All City Vandals" - SAOS and DEAR again, with FAET rather than PRIME.

A walk down Quinpool the other day shows just as Blue is the new Black for 2008, SAOS is trying hard to be the new SAME.

Eine, zwei, drei, vier... SYS

EINE/SYS is a tag that I first noticed after seeing SYS sprayed in the Old Infirmary parking lot, replacing the FYPT that had been there for agse until the wall was repainted. I had been seeing EINE/SYS around, mostly in marker/paint marker, then this week EINE has been popping up as a blue stencil almost daily in the South End.

Dartmouth Cove - April 2008

Dartmouth Cove is an excellent spot to easily see some great graffiti, especially the "Spirited Away" wall, which at present is the best themed wall up in town. Easy access, and always plenty of parking!

GHOST

GHOST is an older graffiti around Halifax, usually seen as a large painted ghost, but occasionally as a smaller cut-out ghost sticker. The stickers are interesting, both for their simple and effective design, as well as for the fact that two of them have the 'Cradle' logo associated with Town Pride. Are 'GHOST' and Cradle the same, or does it show a connection between GHOST and Town Pride? Who knows, but here's a selection of Ghosts from around Halifax.

Repairations at the Pit

Usually when a piece is defaced or damaged, it is replaced quickly, but clearly sometimes repair is an option (if someone's fast enough)
