Whole Lotta Stencil Graffiti

My animated friend, Christa, took a series of pictures (of herself) on a macbook, creating something very similiar to this. She did it Michael Jackson style...and it was very cool.
Here's one of them:











While I was at Borders, I was searching through the art section trying to find inspiration...I came across Graffiti Paris http://www.amazon.com/Graffiti-Paris-Fabienne-Grevy/dp/0810970899/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1242953056&sr=1-1

I liked it so much that I bought it!

I never really thought about Stencil Graffiti...but it is a very unique form of urban art.




I found the "Peeling Babies" (as I like to call them) in Seattle, WA while I was walking around town with my friend Claire. When I saw the red heads and their eye-patches I thought back to the baby graffiti.



A classmate of mine based her photography project on this quote:

Most things in life are moments of pleasure and a lifetime of embarrassment; photography is a moment of embarrassment and a lifetime of pleasure.













I love that graffiti focuses on the most obscure things...


FRIDA ANYONE?




Hahaha




Really a fan of this girl
