One time, while driving along the highway, I noticed a spot tucked in along some brush that looked kind of interesting. Saturday, I dragged Chris out to where I thought that place would be. We parked off of the main road, kind of under a highway overpass. It seemed a little seedy at first; like we were up to something illegal. But as we hiked down the sandy path littered with cables and tires, we began to notice little things like the ant lion dens in the sand.
Then we came to the train tracks and hidden overpasses that were covered in graffiti. It was like an explosion of colors splattered all over in this normally dry, dead area. It looked like a practice ground for graffiti artists. And then Chris and I noticed something else. The whole area was relatively clean. There wasn’t empty cans or soda bottles laying around, no dirty needles poking up out of the dirt, no garbage. The artists took care of their studio.
I found the place to be beautiful and I love that Chris and I could find it together. Happy Love Thursday!
Very cool.
I forgot to drag you along the 7 train to see the best NY graffiti. Next time. Next time.
I love that this is hidden.
Wow. I love this image. And I desperately love that you went searching and found such a treasure.
What an impressive studio. The art is fantastic.
I am visiting you tonight via your comment at Chookolooks. So nice to meet you. I love your blog name. Very creative.
That little purple elephant is the cutest thing.
Hi Life with Kaishon! I’m so glad you stopped by. I glanced at your “about me” section to get some idea about you and I did a little cringy face. Because. I’ve had this blog for years ( I mean years) and I’ve just now written an about me page, but haven’t posted it.
I have the computer skills of a grandma. My husband actually took the little image that I had hand drawn for him and turned it into my header. I’ve been thinking of changing, but now I’m not so sure.
