Graffiti Lover's Corner, I

Graffiti Lover's Corner

Madrid turns out to be a hot spot for graffiti artists. My plan is to post some images of their work each week.

Here we have a series of security doors. The Spaniards are big on fences, gates and such things, and the security doors offer many canvases to the graffiti artists. My apologies to anyone who really knows how to read Spanish. I don't know if there are obscenities on this or not.


The one above I am reasonably sure was not an authorized piece. But what about this one. It is not always easy to tell:



The one below, I am pretty sure was commissioned for a night club.


And this one is definately a bit of advertising:


That is all for now. Hasta Luego!

  2. I can't wait to see what other graffiti you find. These are great! Love the eyes. Yeah, I think Phil is right, it does look like sh-t.

    So what happened about your passports etc? I have heard to be really careful in Italy for tricks like that, but not Madrid. Glad you were all okay.
