Graffiti Richmond
Photos and videos of street art, graffiti, tags, wheat pastes, yarn bombs,stencils, an so on located on the fine streets of Richmond Virginia. Feel free to submit your findings to Graffitirichmond@gmail.com seeing as it's hard to catch 'em all before they're buffed. Remember: No photos of people in the illegal act. And no, I don't work for the cops-ain't nobody got time for that.

Great Richmond graffiti short documentary by my buddy Brad Perry. This video was one of his final projects during his career as a graduate student at The Brandcenter. It was an honor helping him.
More great work from Nils

“Gated Community is a book addressing graffiti and incarceration, specifically relating to the experience of former Richmond, Virginia based vandal, Mickael Broth. In 2004, he began serving ten months of a forty-eight month jail sentence. The book details many of his experiences both in jail and on the street, while also addressing how these topics are viewed by society at large.
The book, part one of three, focuses on Mickael’s crimes and arrest. It includes visuals from his work on the street, as well as legal documents.”
FUNZIEZ!

I’ve been hanging out in DC for the past two days so I haven’t been able to post any pictures of RVA art. So for today - I grant you a taste of what Washington DC has to offer.
The first one is a pro-woman wheat paste, the left is a wheat paste, to the right is a stencil about 5 feet high (look at the stones below for scale - it’s a really dope stencil, and the bottom is just a mix of stuff.
Until I get back,
Enjoy
