Street Art & Graffiti

I learned the father of modern graffiti 

is a guy named "Cornbread" from Philadelphia. 

I learned there are only 33 members of

 the Berlin graffiti task force charged with enforcing the entire city. 

I learned this piece was done for the 2006 World Cup.

I learned the artist who did the dog below

 is a French girl named Paulette.

I learned the graffiti task force once used

 helicopters to try to catch taggers in the act.

This vacant lot /squat had the perfect view for these two gigantic pieces.

No kidding, this was spray painted at the entrance 

There is a lot of  graffiti in Berlin. Lots and lots, loads.

We even got a chance to do our own.

Stephane's Berlin TWO TIMES

And amazingly,

 I avoided getting paint on myself or anyone else.
