TODAY’S MISSION:    Graffiti
STATUS:                         Success!!!

I find beauty in what others consider filth and grime…I believe all artists do!  Artistic people are just built a little bit differently.  I think graffiti is beautiful.  It takes talent to produce the art that comes from spray paint and an urban canvas.  However, I do realize that graffiti does not look beautiful when it’s on the side of someone’s house or on the front of a business storefront.  There is a time and place for it.

I love it when I come across locations where graffiti is encouraged.  Artistic ability is welcomed and allowed.  I stumbled across this gem in Oakland and immediately fell in love!  I just can’t believe how beautiful it is.

Here are a few of my favorite pics from this location,
