Some of it is. Venice Beach is covered in some truely amazing graffiti. Unlike over here where its just names and insults sprayed at eyelevel.

What ever happened to "word".
Surely he was a master of Irish style tagging.
Here is an ascii art versions of words tag now it doesn't really do it justice but get ready "WORD".
Amazing isn't it? and of course for a while it was plastered on any easily accessible wall all over the flippin city.
Hopefully he died roaring like dorans ass.

been to venice beach, seen it, seen some brilliant stuff in Seattle, London, Nairobi etc. in fairness, unless your a tagger yourself and are able to do decent stencils and stuff then calling other people **** is rather easy, however, i do agree, most of the stuff i've seen in ireland is fairly "Tame".

original point is how unimaginative people look at the retro to try be different

I know it's quiet easy to criticise others work, but the vast majority of Irish taggers lack any style or talent. Some of the tagging I have seen around the world is breath taking. It's unique and skillfully done, where as over here a lot of wannabe taggers lack any talent. Just take a look around any city or town in Ireland to see how devoid of talent most of these people are.

but you find the same the world over, its folks for strokes. have to accept the bad with the good unless your actively going to make a change (i.e. start using your own imagination).

Ah sure most taggers in galway are just people from the westside writing "will ya ride me sister for 10 major" using only a sharpy and their arse.

Wait till the MBP crew start kicking,
Galway will never have seen so much Gwoan!

Try looking at what they call tagging in Ballina. I've yet to find a single piece in which all the words are spelt correctly.

Wth is a toy then?

And @ your earlier comment about how the commissioned graffiti is shit, imo thats the only thing that I would categorize as graffiti - scrawling your name or some pathetic handle up on a wall is some uniform drab color is just simply vandalism.

ffs, this has boiled down to some n00b trying to say that he's an artist. go to camden, i thought i'd seen graffiti until i'd been there...
when done skillfully graffiti can be excellent but some 15 year old with a can of purple spraypaint intended for marking sheep is NOT grafitti
in sligo all you can see is ***** ******* is a co ck sucker (i'm leaving the name out here) it's pure 5hite. now i havent't been out any night with a backpack full of cans, but you can tell which stuff is by a tweenager and an artist and galway is leaning on the crap side.

Who is the desired audience for this Grafitti?, I know everyone that walks by can see it but I'd imagine most people like me are used to seeing some random crap sprayed onto a wall and just pay no notice, is it a thing that other 'crews' are supposed to see it and if so whats the point?...why don't yee just get into a boxing ring or play a nice healthy game of checkers?, If you have the desire to release your artistic creativity why don't you paint a picture and submit it to a gallery or post it on the internet?..... 'Wompa1 woz ere'

there is art to graffiti, just not the single coloured tags you see around galway. if i was in galway now i'd be able to picture some good stuff and also show what i think is pure crap.
i love how you didnt put up any of your own work to show your 1337 skillz...

Sod off so you little git.

sgthighway

At the end of the day I think anybody who goes around spraying paint on public/private property is scum....... sorry I was supposed to say; SCUM. Just my opinion but I think the sooner the likes of James gets a new hobby the sooner he will get a life.

And for all does who don't mind it just think of your Tax paying for someone to remove it all. Name and shame them all I say.

P.S. - How do I SPAM a gma!l account?

It's a damn shame that we cant have a decent discussion on graffiti in Galway without people getting banded and hurling insults at each other. I have to say I think its as much to do with the bad attitude of people on this board to non regulars then the attitude of the non regulars themselves (I refuse to use the word n00b)
