Cork :: Hope Street

If you've taken the time to trawl through both the below postings and Cork city, you'll know there are a few ommissions that stick out somewhat; like their perpetrators, loitering, ill at ease, and giving me fouling looks. A good example would be the car park of the north quays.

One other in particular, to such a degree I went out to pick it up and buy it a sandwich:
(Across from FitzGerald's Park, Cork) This one has been around for a long time, and I (everybody) like it more for that- a stencil of a homeless person, getting shabbier over time, fading into the background... Well. It probably couldn't have worked out better.

That's a penguin by the way.

Notice the separate, relatively newer stencil above from the last dublin post.

The above is't necessarily in FitzGeralds Park, but in the mouth of an alley facing it. It's your typical good-o alley; secluded and built so that from the outside you can't see down it's length.


Thus, plenty of people have made their mark on the way through. Afew stencils, a number of 'pieces.The frog!



Yup... Script on the right hand side reads "I'll miss u!!". At least our tourism has conviction.
An elf? With an anarchist ear-ring? Winking? With a mohawk? Yeah. Fuck yeah, Freedom.
Piece version of a stencil thats around...


To be honest, I don't really go in for this sort of stuff. Not just the piece above, but the last few. Not that its not good, but.. It feels too far removed from our cities. Murals of pit-bulls wearing ghetto hoodies and posing like rappers.. I don't object to it. I'd just like to see what else they could do.





I do, however, love wallscrawl.
