Spraycan Science from the Tunnel's Mouth

- moebius rex - Monday, May 13th, 2002 : goo

aci, a fallen warrior in the krylon wars, r.i.p., points the way to the tunnel. tread lightly on the tracks and keep an ear perked for train horns and the ravenous ghosts of hobos.


our blessed homegirl, ever silent, all-knowing, watches stoically from her station at the tunnel's entrance. if you do not pass judgement, you may not make it to the other side.


the unknown b-boy, patron saint of spraypaint writers, midnight taggers, and all who follow the drive to express the urban soul in aerosol flash.


pole position: a protection glyph. keeps the faithful safe from transit cops, psychotic vagrants, and murderous train operators.


encoded among the seemingly abstract scrawls and paintovers are 5000 years of accumulated grafitti wisdom, back to the days of the pharaohs. observe, meditate, learn.


if you can't handle the truth, don't enter the tunnel. follow the stairway out. leave your name on a step to retain honor.

Victory Cafe


Hackney Rd. London E2 This would be my local cafe, then. A UK periodical called Private Eye has a spot called 'dismal advertising. This might just fit that bill. Of course, I love it and have photographed it before... previously on...
