street warnings [General] — rustle @ 4:08 pm

I’ve just come back from barcelona. I love the street art.

Noel Niel is the spanish equivalent to “Neither him nor him”.

These put me in mind of Banksy, a Bristol based street artist who graced my former home with a fine example of his work:

It’s well worth a visit to his site. He offers advice to would be graffitti artists. Like this:

When explaining yourself to the Police its worth being as reasonable as possible. Graffiti writers are not real villains. I am always reminded of this by real villains who consider the idea of breaking in someplace, not stealing anything and then leaving behind a painting of your name in four foot high letters the most retarded thing they ever heard of.

Also interesting to see in Barcelona was the graffitti warnings put up for tourists warning them, in certain places, to look out for theives (right below). Also on the left is a warning about racism.
