"Drink Me"

"Drink Me," a vial reminiscent of Alice in Wonderland, senciled on the outside of a door. Perhaps drawing upon the concept of shrinking after drinking one vial to get through a small door.

"Smoke"

This picture depicts multiple unknown artists' graffiti on the walls of an abandoned building. The artists used different tags, styles, colors, fonts, and materials to set themselves apart. The graffiti pictured consists mostly of tags, not images. It is clear that some graffiti has been posted on top of older graffiti.

"CGAR"

CGAR can be seen multiple times throughout the building in different styles. On this wall, its color and style stand apart from the rest. The graffitti on this wall is especially cramped together, and older graffiti (that I saw on the wall about a month ago) has been covered up by the CGAR logo.

"RAP -> SPRAYERS"

The major piece has a rectangular blue background behind the large letters, which are difficult to discern. This bordering seems to separate one person's art from all others, and also makes the letters stand out more than they would against the cement wall as a background. It has been painted over a piece that is now illegible.

"SGURD"

The lower portion of the wall has a distinct background, differentiating between styles and perhaps wall "property." This portion of the building is littered with trashcans that have also been used as a surface for graffiti.

"EPSK"

This wall is one of the most visual out of the entire building. The red spheres, the designs in the fill of the letters, and the style of the graffiti nearest to the top of the wall set this apart from the rest. It is diffcult to tell which pieces are by different people, or whether the bottom row of spheres was cut in half on purpose, or by a new artist that wanted to show distinction between the two pieces.

"ERASC"

The outside of the door shows simplified tags that can be seen larger and intricately stylized on the inner walls, perhaps to show that these artists have already gotten there, or have ownership of the walls inside. The letters on the walls are more 3D in style than others, with more intricate coloring to make the letters look like they have a sheen and shine and texture.

"FROM HUMBOLL"

This graffiti very conspicuously overlaps over other work, with the writing "FROM HUMBOLL" covering another piece of graffiti. The major work is very difficult to read, and seems more like design than writing.
