RUN DMC

The Hip Hop tradition in Spain even knows where and how to show love. This was a 12 foot tall 25 foot long piece. Trees were in the way, so I couldn't get a good photo of the whole wall. Adidas represent.

Faces

Snowman

So this is Christmas?

The Duke

The odd cross cultural idols you run into. . .

Pullback

Sometimes it is good to pull back and get perspective of where you are shooting. I was in a a sketchy area near the Train Station in the northern side of the downtown area. I was climbing down next to the tracks and could tell that this outside museum of street art housed more than its fair share of homeless folks. All kinds of busted up stuff, and lots of empty liquor bottles, broken suitcases, and old nasty clothes.

Cooking

A Tag Tortilla I guess you could say. . .

Octopus

From the Area around the Bus-Station:

Perspective

This aint no hood, but it gives the perspective . . .

Glasses

It is a damn shame someone put a shitty little tag in the middle of this face, but such is the life of street art.

Went Walking

After a good long hike to the complete other end of the city from my crib, I rolled upon a wall across from a big mall area. Some pretty good stuff, not museum worthy, but still banging.

Poch

This is a modern world, and graffiti has been around for thousands of years . . . I LOVE ROBOTS!

Spanish Politics

I have not seen an elephant yet, but I am sure this jack ass is a political statement too. Just like music, politicians are universal (jackasses).

Dancing Drunk

What a nice color scheme, and what an ugly drunk grandma! Blue Hair!

Flamingos

So, in my first week here I must have found The Luve of Sevilla in terms of Graffiti. I have found a bunch of drunk high school kids spray painting god knows what all over expensive buildings and centuries old structures (like the Middle Aged fortress wall on the north end of "El Centro"). I have been looking, but I am not going to take pictures of crap. This one is from the river near my house where all the other art pieces were. It is dope, and it has a flamingo.

Child Drawing

A reflection on a childhood memory perhaps?

Old Women Washing Clothes

This oddity is from the Madness Clan. It makes sense to me that they roll with that name, this is odd. Very nicely done and it isn't about smack. Who knew old women would be this interesting?

Razorback

They eat a type of raw, cured ham here called Jamon, and it is really good. I guess this is the basis for the following piece.

Zero my Hero

and one more from the bus station. I have some more in my picture albums, most of these were very, very intricate. Keep in mind that i can not even draw a stick figure.

Skulls

Here is another shot from right behind the bus station. I enjoy the dark side of art. I make dark weird music, and this is a dark, weird view.

Devils

Went down by the river and found some cool shots. These are right behind the bus station, near a skate park in the Center of town. I have found where the real artists hang out at.

Nero's Afro Man

This is from Parque Infanta Elena.

Koke is a B-Boy

This is from Parque Infanta Elena just east of the main town. It is a nice little exercise/recreation park with some canvas space. My favorite artist in the park was "koke."

Intro to Sevilla Graffiti

So, this southern boy who likes weird things has moved to Sevilla Spain, and I get to spend a whole year in this wonderful place. Within the first few hours of being here, I noticed two things; how beautiful this city is and how much graffiti there is. I have never lived in a big city, the only two before this were the North Carolina towns of Asheville and Chapel Thrill, so this graffiti thing is new to me. I don't know much about good graffiti, it's scene or culture. I just know that some of them look better than others. So no hatin on this southern boy for wasting time on documenting this stuff. I have time to kill and this was a great way to do so. I would have got into graffiti more, but I am visually impaired and had to turn to beats for my form of expression. The posted image is the first one that I saw that was worth taking a picture of. Plus I understood the language (I don't speak Spanish, I just ended up here). Sukone
