Favorite Graffiti

Sometimes public art is just writing on the wall that is protesting the latest political point of view. I love the movement, line, form, and design, or the style of the writing. The layers, the light and dark tones, how the layers make new letters, it’s the public calligraphy with words that don’t make sense.
