Cork :: Wallscrawl Sept - Aug.

More Cork wallscrawl. Apologies for the bad quality, I left them in my pocket and they went through the wash. This one's a little blurry, it reads:

"Why do Corkmen piss on the toilet seat?
(a) so you can sit on their piss
(b) because they didn't bring their mother with them
(c) because thinking is too hard for them
So basically, you sat on some guys piss, yeah? Awesome."



Outside Ballincollig somewhere.

Laptop O' Clock! Speaks volumes. Cork-Mallow line.

N-side somewhere.
FitzGerald's Park.

Cork :: More smaller pieces

Just some more Cork bits from walking around.

(once I know how to rotate pictures in blogger...) On the way towards the Douglas road.

I really like stickers. Regardless of how permanent the sticker actually is, they feel less permanent, less aggressive than pieces done in paint. They're small, but it's part of the charm. The little A34 message in shiny acrylic, adhering to the side of traffic cone.
Middle of town.
Cork School of music.

Dublin, World:: random

Oh it's so late. So late it's 9am. Anyway: last of the backlog. Places not in Cork, or not quite graffiti. Dublin kicks us in the face repeatedly for graffiti I'm afraid. However, as the impending economic bagelcollapse ..impends, I foresee an era where every city, villlage and township will have their own gang culture, and they'll be throwing paint and stencils everywhich way. We'll get some real pieces up then, rest assured.

Ha! Sleep hallucinations. They genuinely aren't the same things as dreams.

Cork:: PutEmUp! ...and BONUS picture!

Surprisingly, I'm calling this one GetEmUp!.
Once again through my Co-Conspiring friend Deltaetcetera, these were along O. Plunkett to the Grand Parade. Really like the linework and perspective.


This one is Just For YOU! save the file, prin it out, write something inane in the speech bubble, such as "this got put up, and then disseminated across the intersea". Of course, I make this offer completely without the creators knowledge.. I can't believe I feel the need to say that. My thought is that his person was from some bigger pond, passing through, by the quality of the print etc.

I'd crush that little scumbag kid's face.

BONUS!

Half-mermaid? It's cool to see original artwork on the walls (ie: not a cautious print)

Cork:: Notebook Girl

Im going to call her Notebook Girl.
I don't know her gender, nor do I know it's a notebook. Something makes me think it's a girl though, and they ain't got no signature so... So she deserves an erroneous nickname.

I really, really like this stuff. I'll buy her a pint and apologise for assuming her gender. For assuming there's only one of her. I might even check her out, and steal her sketchbook off to the bathroom.

I know that I've lauded plenty of stuff in three posts, but if you don't like what she's done, then you're not waking up properly in the morning. If you draw or write or some such, you know how personal it'd be to wheatpaste prints of your stuff around town. I'd never do it because it would scare the carp out of me, but...
Although I suppose it's not so hard if your stuff is Good...

Photos were sent to me via my Co-Conspirator, Deltasomethingorother..
Photos all over the Cork Centre.

Cork:: the Other type of graffiti: the Misty past to the endJune-08-present

Once again, piles of pieces, all from Cork. I really hope this is still there; it's as old as the hills, but I think they destroyed it along with that lovely alley of Paul St.. KONG was the first name i really saw on Cork's streets (or remember seeing, which is more important). Either way, I haven't seen anything new from him/her in a while. Which is a real pity. (S)He had style, tact, and taste.

Hurh hurh hurh... Back when Transformers was still a relatively sacred relic.



Yon obligatory Vibe pieces! This guy gets a whole granny-basket of points purely for getting up so very much; he's all over the place. Not to mention his stuff is well good. I'm not very into tags, but Vibe puts the effort into being much more original than your average marker-armed whelp...

White ninja? Guy with glasses and well tended-uni-brow? Some sort of.. granny?..
Off Barrack St.
The barely-legible scrawls beneath this guy say "Thats Brilliant" and "Agreed". And its true! Strangely though, this stencil is underground in the UCC Kane bathrooms.

More... Vibe?


JF had a nice sponge-bob on Oliver Plunket St, but it was taken down (twice) before i could give birth to a digital camera.

This guy is one to watch, and not just because these are really good..
JF. I'm watching you JF. There can only be so many "JF"s in the phone book and voter's registry...


Barrack St.
Barrack St. I love things like this. Understated and slightly out of view. Using Stuff lying (growing) around.


RF23 is another anonymous face you see around a lot, but not enough. He had lots of vinyl stickers (lucky bastard), and was generally Class. Either funny, or the tasty side of poignant, or just cool. Crane Lane (the actual lane, not the club on the adjacent street).




Once "saw" a scrawl that said "I love hopeful street art"


South Mall

Oh you Knid, you are vile and vermicious. For some reason i always imagined they looked something like this. Note writing under eye.




These guys are all localised on a sheet of plyboard on N. Main St.: There's loads of them! By volume and qulity, there's something else behind it, but... Who knows. (*hint*)

You heard it here first. Or in the UCC jacks where it was.
the 508 is reborn.


This guy I really like.. Little lumps of clay stuck to the wall, carved, then varnished. Really, really cool. And they even have that most valuable of modern traits: randomness. In spades. I saw one that i think was about having tea, and another about.. I have no idea. Really really like it though.
We let ourselves down be not ruining those shitty Elysian boards, which surrounded the building site. They were screaming out for defacement, and only a brave few went forward. This piece is cool because it replaces the identical slogan for the Elysian.

Pretty certain this is religious, less certain that its a trail.. This was in Cobh, and I saw more going up to Cork. Circa Easter I think?



Ugh. It has become properly bright out.
