For the past 3 years I have always stopped to take pictures of graffiti that is appealing to me. The result is 255 pictures of public art from at least 4 cities. Each day my archive of graffiti grows. Denmark is covered in a layer of spray paint, stickers, yarn, and even tiles that have been glued to walls (see picture of women below). While some graffiti/street art is very inspiring to me, other pieces are less inspiring. But I do respect the skill and guts it takes to make this public art. While some may strongly dislike public art I find pleasure in the visual stimulation it brings me each day. I also enjoy seeing recurring tags, stickers, and drawings. So far "TOMCAT19" and "Satan" are two tags I see a lot. I also see "The Queen" every now and again. In New York I always see a simply drawing of a cupcake with a cherry on top. Anyway, short post. Enjoy the pictures of some of my favorite Danish graffiti thus far.
