Wearable Graffiti By Bleach

Funnily enough I run a and was a little torn as to which blog I should feature the graffiti artist Bleach’s tees in, but as this gives me a chance to showcase some of his stunning art I think I’ve made the right choice. Bleach as with many graffiti artists is particularly hard to track down on the Net so it’s probably a good thing I’m writing this post, the best place to learn about the artist is at the excellent UK urban art site UKadapta (don’t ask me why the homepage is in Japanese – all I know is there’s an English version of the site so you won’t need to take a crash course in a highly complicated language).

MELBOURNE GRAFFITI ART

I’ve always appreciated the work of graffiti artists and in Melbourne, Australia, spectacular graffiti art seemed to be everywhere. Bursting off the walls in vivid explosions of color, the urban artworks brought their surroundings to life and helped give the neighborhoods that much more of a pulse.

Melbourne has a rich and impressive selection of graffiti art lining its streets and alleyways. So much so that the British street artist, Banksy, said it was arguably Australia’s most significant contribution to the arts since they stole all the Aborigine’s pencils. However, it’s not just other street artists that think highly of Melbourne’s graffiti, as Australia’s National Trust and Heritage Victoria are both in favor of protecting the city’s graffiti art.

Unsurprisingly though, not everyone considers graffiti as a valid art form to be celebrated. Scott Hilditch, chief executive of Graffiti Hurts Australia says that protecting graffiti would signify the acceptance of society’s decline and open the floodgates to vandalism by sending a dangerous message that graffiti is acceptable.

Graffiti Fonts

Nice. Maybe sometime I’ll try to feature some of the best gaffiti arts around the globe here in GDFR.

Here some screenies of the fonts included in the 100 graffiti font pack.

Railroad Graffiti Picture Derby Connecticut

I know there is graffiti all over the United States, especially in New York and Brooklyn along the subway route, but here's a cool graffiti pic for ya.

We sure were surprised when we went to our secret spot in to go fishing in Derby CT, and as we were walking along a path by some old railroad tracks, and found some graffiti that I would consider art under the railroad tracks.

The 1800's railroad tracks are above me in this picture.

I was so amazed, I couldn't help but take a pic of as much graffiti as I could, but this picture is the best one that turned out.

Did you know that graffito is singular for graffiti? How old is this graffito? From the looks of the rest of the pictures I would guess from the early 1970's. To me it's like art, and appears to have taken a lot of thought in creating something like this, and because of where it's located, I wouldn't consider it vandalism, it's pretty well hid. How many people do you know that can draw graffito letters like this? Not me! See the old Shelton Railroad where we took the picture.

The classic wild style practitioner

For my money, the best style writer in the world today. At a time when many people literally paint the same outline dozens or even hundreds of times and just change up the colors, Bates paints a different style pretty much every time. If you're a writer, know one thing: Bates can probably do your style better than you.
