I am loving all the Simpson's graffiti! That is too cool. Here is some I came across today.

Saw this on vacation and thought about this thread. This was across the street from Burial Hill Cemetery in Plymouth, MA. Not sure I understand it and not sure I am supposed to.

Wow. Small world. Guy from Alabama takes a picture of graffiti art in Massachusetts and someone from Pittsburgh, PA (mainly) recognizes it! I honestly would not have noticed it if not for this thread. It’s really quite the juxtaposition given what is right across the street and who all is buried there.

Also looks like the sidewalk has been improved since the painting and is handicap accessible. Good work Plymouth public works.

The artist's Instagram username is printed very small on your photo of the mural so I looked it up to see what else was on his page. I like it. He uses those bright pink and purple colors in a lot of his work. There is a ton of graffiti and murals near me. I've always known that but I'm definitely more acutely aware of it since this thread. And I kind of enjoy stopping to take pictures of it and looking at it a little closer than I normally would. He also had this on his IG



I like it bc it reminds me of when I used to smoke. If I misplaced my lighter, I would grab one of those big grill lighters with the flame turned all the way up. A bit overkill. When you pull that thing out of your pocket to light a cigarette, people look at you funny. When I took it with me to the bar people were more likely to come up and ask for a light.

A few years ago, one of the bars a few blocks away had this mural painted on the side of the building.

Someone a few streets over from me has some stoop art. Didn't even know it was a thing.

Reykjavik has a great street art scene, presumably most or all are sanctioned by the city.

Had to see Krog Street Tunnel in Atlanta when visiting. Couldn't get good photos in the tunnel itself, but these were in the neighborhood.
