I have recently posted some photos (here, here, and here) I took of graffiti while in Spain (which seem to be very popular according to Google Images), so here is yet another. This one was taken in Tarifa, Spain, which is at the southern tip of the country. From the location where this photo was taken, you can see Morocco and Africa in the distance across the Strait of Gibraltar, and to the west is the Atlantic Ocean, and to the east is Mediterranean. The graffiti isn't what makes this picture for me, it is really the location that makes this one special. Both of these photos were taken around the same time, but with different camera settings.

"Que Calor?" Graffiti, Córdoba, Spain

Here is yet another installment to my album of graffiti photos. This one was taken in Córdoba, Spain during my trip in October 2008. I found this on either Calle San Fernando or Calle San Feria, I'm not sure which, as I was walking from my room at the nearby Hostal Maestre. I'm not sure if the art is referring to global warming or what, but regardless, I thought it was interesting and the fact that it made me think was nice too.

Córdoba was a lovely city, and I would highly recommend a visit there. The Hostal Maestre is also recommended, it's a little further from the city center, but that gives ample opportunity to get lost in the maze of streets. It's also right around the corner from a proper hostel which has cheap internet access. Enjoy!

Graffiti - Ocean Beach, San Diego, California

During my recent trip to Spain, I had seen some pretty cool graffiti that I had previously posted. In keeping with that theme, here is some right around the corner from where I live in Ocean Beach, San Diego. Both of these are located on Bacon St, I believe on the Seedless Clothing office. On the second one, you can see the artist's name next to the woman if you look closely. Also, notice the electrical box next to the car, hehehe... I'm not sure who the artist is, but the whole thing is pretty cool.

Update 5/8/2009: The artist's name is Caleb Aero. Check out his Myspace and Facebook.

Update 6/18/2009: I've been getting a lot of traffic on this post lately. I think people might be Googling for info about the graffiti in OB of the vandalism type? Not sure. I don't actually live in Ocean Beach anymore so I can't say for sure, but I've been following the graffiti debate over at the OB Rag (more articles here and here). Regardless, I have to say this graffiti I am showing below is a bit more tasteful and I think actually is good for neighborhoods, I think it adds positive character to communities. Of course, vandalism is no good... If what I saw in Spain was any indication, graffiti done properly can be definitely positive. In fact, in the OB Rag article I referenced above, one of the suggestions for the graffiti problem was to get real artists in to create murals and the like.

Btw, please don't steal my photos. If you want to use these photos, read this.

During my recent trip to Spain, I noticed some really interesting graffiti on some of the side streets. I ended up taking a few good photos, and it also got me thinking that I've seen some cool graffiti here at home in San Diego. So over the next few weeks I will try to post a new photo every few days. Here is the first graffiti photo, taking in Granada, Spain, in October 2008. Enjoy!
