Really like this one.

Again Marktstraße, in the flesh this is one whacky street.
(But not this one, Dohrnweg innit?)


This one is just ace.


These crop up quite a bit, all rather unsettling.

Hail Emperor!  Nuts.  That reminds me of all the Chinatowns I've ever visited.  Crazy text everywhere but without the niff of boiling crustaceans such as Crayfish.

I wish I could blame Hip Hop but it's roots are much deeper. Haven't found any really old looking stuff on my sojourns around the city as they clean up from time to time.  No swasticas here (only seen them in a Police cell, odd).  But more from the 'burg:





Pretty fond of Eyestalk man, me.  But the chap making a brief appearance to his right is cooler - when he's not here he's in other major cities around Europe.  In the 'burg he pops out in the oddest places (propably seen 8 or so).  You'll be standing in a large doorway somewhere, stretch your neck up for a rub and spot him on the ceiling, always with a shit-eating grin, sometimes with boots and a top hat.

I like that site.  Though the shame about tagging is that the tags are either ugly, artless, mindless, or just plain naff to cast one's eye over and live around.  I think in general they are pretty disrespectful.  They have an OZ there.  He's crap, not a patch on the 'burgs OZ.  I'll try and get some of his grander OZ's. 

Yep, I like scumming me.  Squeezing all over it, so to speak.

Browsed this in FOPP. Bit of a sellout, but good to see all the inspirational work.

Cheers for that,

been experimenting, the second button second row just puts img tags in my post...  should I be able to browse files using this option or do I have to type the pathway in for stuff thats on my desktop? ... hmm, I'll suss it...

You can't link stuff from your computer. The image has to be online.

Paul, meen Jung', If you're into the scrawl of the wild in Hamburg, you should look up my son, Daniel, who once had a flourishing career as a vandal, being arrested by the Schmiere at least once a week for his spray can exploits.
I blame his mother

And when you are next in Munich, wander on down to the Ostbahnhof, cross the tracks (figuratively speaking, of course, as we wouldn't want you getting burst by the 17:10 to Bolzano) and check out the Kunstpark Ost for the best collection of legally commissioned graffiti I've ever seen in one place
