Alot of nice pics.. too bad about the anti-communist trash though.

[Patchy]

If I found anything like this around here I'd .. eat my hat. The only shit graphs I see around here are "BLOODS" "CRIPS" and other unitelligeble strains of insults and crap. Mostly drawn with incomplete lines or spray or markers. Only good stuff I get to see is on trains rolling by.

which anti-communist stuff?

[Wiesty]

ha, these are great, and very talented, if only i could graffiti, i hear its possible to get a license to graffiti in certain areas.

[rioters bloc]

well you can prolly find 'legal graffiti spaces' where, as the name implies, you can graffiti...legally...

but to be honest i find that takes the fun out of it.

nothing like going on a midnight fugg run [feminist underground guerrilla group] and defacing sexist ads and doing stencils around the place :D

[Patchy]

Once I get the whole stenciling actually down, I'm headng it around town and slapping something over all the damn swastikas in back lanes. Eyesores.

[rioters bloc]

these aren't political, but theyre from one of the legal spaces near my place called the hall of fame

I believe he's talking about the stuff in the politics folder.

[Xvall]

I like the one with the guy on the horse, and the one that looks like a businessman getting sniped.

[violencia.Proletariat]

about the legal graffiti spots, do people just cover other peoples work or do they leave it alone. there some good stuff on there and it wouldnt be great if someone really bad at it came along and sprayed over it.

[rioters bloc]

sometimes people spray over it, just like with any graffiti really

the stuff from those pictures there^ have been up for years now and no-ones sprayed over them yet.

[h&s]

Yesterday on the (2 mile, in the rain) walk home a Socialist Party meeting, I saw a wall that had 'Sleep E(A)T WORK' sprayed on it about 7 or 8 times along its length. I may post it here if it doesn't cost me a fortune to send the pictures on my phone.

[Alice in Ganjaland]

Those graffiti pictures are really good. Unfortunately there's not much political graffiti here in my country (actually none at all of any importance)...so I'm glad that this thread was posted. :D

[drain.you]

Yeah, same here, little political activity going on around my hometown. I attempted some a while back but it disappeared the day after :S must have been bad timing on my account (time for a vandalism cover-up) or perhaps they just sent someone out to deal with it. i dunno. The 'everyday i wake up on the wrong side of capitalism' one is great, i might do that somewhere.

[Alice in Ganjaland]

This thread has inspired me to buy some spray paint and find a fresh wall. :lol:

I would like to see that.

Is 'Sell Kids 4 Food' a lyric from a RHCP song? Sounds familiar. Perhaps more widely used than one song, I dunno.

It comes from 'In Bloom' by Nirvana. I'm not a big Nirvana fan at all, but I liked the line...

The bankI tagged that is right next to a Wal Mart, and it was seen by a huge amount of people, it's the busiest part of our town... It took em about a week to piant over it.

Hey this one's from my city Gent :) Fun fact: Underneath it says "Dood aan Dewinter, leve de lente", which liturally means "Kill the winter, hooray for the spring." However, Dewinter is the name of the most famous right-winged fascist of the Vlaams Blok (Belgian extreme-right party)... :)

I love the Tiny Tunes reference, Anarchist Buster keepin the greedy Montana Max down, its great.

[Mujer Libre]

I saw an awesome stencil in Carlton yesterday. It was about the Libs IR reforms, and it had a big caption that said "Work choices = No choices" and a cartoon of an employer talking to a worker, saying "You're fucked now Bill."

And Bill replies with "Yes, sir."

Awesome. I wish I had a camera.

Hmmm...yes that's true but chalk is so...I don't know what's the word...it's not my medium? :unsure: I still prefer spraypaint.

It sounds like there's a Neo-Nazi problem in Australia? Wow...never would have expected that one.

[Black Dagger]

Australia has a long history of racism, starting in 1788 with European invasion. More recently there have been groups like the Patriotic Youth League, setting up on 'white pride' and anti-immigration platforms, the PYL is actually based near where i live :/

Like Pauline Hanson who was trying to get rid of immig'ents.

and then went on to become a much-loved tv celeb on 'dancing with the stars'. i love how society rewards xenophobes.

[Creature]

From chip shop worker, to persecuted politcal party leader, to participant on dancing with the stars.

Society is truly a farce.

[Black Dagger]

I love how channel 7 and channel 9 tried to rehabilitate her image, plonking her into 'TV specials' and doing 'poor pauline' segments on ACA and TT. When i saw the ad for dancing with the stars i was speechless, i mean, how the fuck is she a 'star' anyway? What's her claim to fame? Electoral fraud or xenophobia?
