Like High Def is to Richer Than Life, So is Smug One Graffiti

HD TV is hyped as being 'uber-realistic', that is, more loaded with content and color and pop, that the final effect is even more sensational than real life.

The same could be said for Smug One's graffiti.  Its like a portrait, just cooler in all the right ways.

CBS Mural Bombed

This mural that is in-process from CBS got bombed with a throwie from AST(?).

Cool how they worked it into the cloud piece that was already there from Dytch.

The artwork on this CBS mural is impressive, no doubt. But the same stuff on the same wall for 10 years gets old no matter what it is, and we like seeing this AST young blood add some street to the piece.


***And we love getting all the comments on 'how we don't know (fill-in-the-blank) about graffiti' and that we should 'do research'. Point us to the book, and we will do the fuckin' research. But there is no book, is there? We are just showing what happens on the streets-it doesn't need research--we post what is happening. If someone has some knowledge that they would like to add to the discussion, that is great and we welcome the input and knowledge. But comments like this one really don't do much.****

New Massive CBS Mural

This previous CBS mural on this spot had been running for almost 10 years.

The crew felt that it was time for a fresh piece, and we got some info from Dytch CBS as he was painting.
