Superior grafitti

I know grafitti is vandalism and should not be encouraged but the effort that has appeared on the prom on the old funfair entertained me. It reads "Wall, huh, what is it good for?" Any other examples?

The graffiti images are among the most popular on my web site. Of course, reproduction does not constitute endorsement.

On a wall on Avenida amazonas, main strteet of Quito, Ecuador, a graffito which translates roughly as "Give me heaven for its climate, but give me hell for its society!"...

Thanks for that wangi. I will keep a copy. I used to cycle through Inverleith Park every week and on the length of several buildings was daubed:

"She was tall, thin and tarty and she drove a Maserati"

I went down with a camera to capture it but a philistine person had had it removed.

A few years back a lot of the cities pubs had "cut the cord" daubed in the gents... You can only shudder at the thought!

I guess it was a Trainspotting reference?

Banksy is my favourite. Subversive and hilarious.
