  1. i love these. it's remarkable how the intentional artistic act merges with the casual gesture of overpainting the words and with the passage of time (in the paint wearing away) to create one beautiful image.

  2. yes, like always, the mixture of intention and randomness.
    the words are - well i can't quite read them- some parts are missing and the whole message is obscure, may be political, but also maybe religious. i can only read "their freedom" and "creation" ... this image intrigues me, the drawing style is not usual over here! and it's in the street just under my house!

  3. near your house! oh how cool. there's some good drawing there, especially those eyes. an unusual angel with provocative things to say.
