Graffiti Walk

I have become very interested in graffiti while here in korea.  Maybe it is because even the plain writing looks like art to me, or maybe it is because it is an interesting contrast to the rundown, traditional buildings it appears on.  Whatever the reason my brain is finding it interesting, I have begun to search it out.  One of the best places I have found to locate good graffiti here downtown on all the tiny little side streets and alleyways.  There are several pieces I have gone back to see multiple times and one or two pieces I have watched created over the weeks.  Last weekend I went shopping for some inspiration for apartment decorating and crafty feelings and I spent a few hours wandering around, taking pictures of some of the ones I like the most.

Pretty nifty eye, the drips really add to it

A cool stencil graffiti

Love the name

What I have dubbed the Korean Joker Wall.  I love the shadow painted to the left.

Love the three overlapping faces here

In progress, can't wait to see it completed

Love the Old woman and the young girl surrounded by brand names.  It translates to "you" and "your mom"
