Giant Phallic Graffiti in Boise, Idaho

This shit is great!

It’s a huge boner and balls pointed toward at the Idaho Governor’s mansion. It probably means their governor is an asshole and someone is out to fuck him.

Keep Your Hands and Fingers to Your Side

Hahaha, seriously though, be advised. This means, no pissing in alleys and certainly no calling street aggressors bitches.

Chicago Roots

While moving and unpacking I recently came up on a VHS of early 90's Chicago graffiti. There is large coverage of permission and chill spots like Walls of Style, Walls of Grace, Imperial Furniture, the CTA competitions, and more. It has a section with riding the redline and harassing a CTA worker. Oh yeah, and there is a part with Artistic BASF2 spinning records in his bedroom.



It's chalk full of some of the sickest work from Ice-Pack, Chi-Rock, Fedz, THC, ASC, SB, J4F DC5, UEMF, and others... I can't remember where I originally picked it up, perhaps Time2Pound or BOMB records in East Chicago IN. Who knows?
