PNW Art on the street

I'm a guy who came to the pacific northwest for love & a different life. I am very much someone who appericate art even the more off beat stuff including graffiti. To me graffiti, especially as the modern form is the written form of expression that the youth (and sometimes not so young ) do to get their message recognized. This understanding came from the documentry "style wars" where it mostly focused on the late 1970s hip hop scene and how graffiti was the written word of Hop hop along side breaking as the physical expression and rapping as the spoken word.

I ,as someoene who grew up in that culture and the Rap culture that followed it in the 80s and 90s, noticed that: it wasn't just the hip-hop /rap kids, but people from all strips who tagged and had their own message to say wether it was promoting their music, a cry for help, getting out their rage or just their poltical messages.

I just want to share you some artist expressing themselves and with that said, know this blog will have elements of violence , gore , blood , human and other animal body parts and human and other animal waste may be depicted in the art. I do not flinch away from most of those subjects also being a horror fan & a self-styled goth. But I'll try and keep that behind explicit tags.

I ask that you do not scan any QR codes the art may have as I have no idea where they may lead or do to your device.

Few things I'll avoid :

-Hateful messages & calls for violence (have to stay within Tumblr's guild lines)

- Lazy "x was here " type work & line work similar to that

-Anything with phone numbers or personal info

- Scratch work (it's hard to capture and most of it is gang stuff).
