STL Graffiti

[MSUBearFranke]

Going to be in STL this weekend and I'm looking for some really good graffiti to document. I don't care if it is gang related or just tagging. I just want to take some photos of it. Thanks

If it's awesome graffiti art you want, then there's like 3/4 mile of some kickass graffiti along the concrete levee wall just a few blocks north of the arch. You have to see it to believe it.

The upper floors of the Cotton Belt Freight Depot have some amazing graffiti.

Indeed, awesome work-just beware of the junkies :]



On the subject of graffiti, randomly driving around (as usual) at night I've spotted two HUGE tags. One read 'Dive' on a decrepit building in East STL, and the second read 'TKD,' spotted right off downtown I-40 on a (abandoned?) warehouse. Definition of 'HUGE' would be that both tags were atleast 20-30' in height...

Determined by the feathery/splattered white texture of the paint, it appears whoever threw these up used an industrial paint sprayer of some sort.. I'm curious as to how they accomplish this. Really cool shit.

There's also Powell Square, its litered with enormous roll ups and pieces--speaking of which I have yet to make trip there before they turn the goddamn thing into Condo's... (like every other abandonment in STL..) ;\


I believe I have this weekend off, so If you'd like some company to explore I'd be interested in tagging along!


Cheers,

The big tags that say "DIVE" and "TKO" are actually done with just a normal can of spray paint! Believe it or not! They're fitted with a special nozzle that sprays it that far!!

The roof and numerous floors of the Cotton Belt Freight Depot IS a great place to see some ever-changing graffiti...just be cool to the homeless guys!
