Wall Guy


Illegibility is still present; see that object that sorta looks like a soda cup with straw, like the kind you would get at a fast food establishment, near his temple. Sorta is the key word, not soda. Illegibility seems to be the aspect that creates the line between street art and defacement of public property. Decipherable or not, graffiti reminds us that our urban landscapes are products of our humanity. We are the city. Otherwise, an impressive illustration. I liked this guy floating on this wall, on the side of building in our warehouse district. Some kind of construction going on, probably won't be around much longer.  He looks like he is talking but he looks none too bright, appears agitated, like what he is saying about the subject is not important but he is agitated with good reason and the subject affects us all.
