Graffiti is awesome

art, design, graffiti, photography, Spain, Valencia

I first went to Spain while studying abroad, and while I was getting lost in Barcelona for six straight days in a week, I saw some really amazing graffiti.  The street art in Valencia was equally impressive, and this time I had the good sense to record a bunch of it.

It was particularly common to see it on garage-style shop doors that closed for siesta (things seemed to be closed a lot in Valencia, actually).  There were also some really intricate murals that covered the entire sides of buildings, but those were more difficult to photograph.

The picture of the bull (the simple outline drawing) is my favorite – it seems very Spanish, what with the legs like a Salvador Dali painting and the fact that its a bull.

Do you have a favorite?

It’s still a few days away, but here’s something that has set my heart spinning:

I love it.  Temporary tattoos were a big part of my childhood, and I love cycle-derived graphic design (because I love my bike!).  This bike chain temporary tattoo is available here.

Its no secret that I’m a huge fan of This American Life.  And I really, really respect Ira Glass and the team of regular contributors and producers for the work they do – I wish they did more of it, and I wish they’d teach me how.  This video, if a little dizzying, contains a nugget of incredible advice that I hope I can manage to follow, and is probably the closest I’m going to get to personal tutelage from the This American Life staff.

Happy Saturday!
