Taiwanese grafitti



Monday 4 May 2009

You see it so rarely here, which is good, really, although I do sometimes miss the creativity we saw all over Buenos Aires.

The 132 bus goes past this mural, so I see it pretty often. I'm always impressed by this girl's constant enthusiasm. Yea!!!

Big Heads



Thursday 23 August 2007

Very unique heads in this style can be seen all over the San Telmo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. I don't know who paints them, although I'd like to, because they are always a nice little splash of color and art.

Subte grafitti



Sunday 19 October 2007

In the last month or two, grafitti has been popping up on the subte trains. I had not seen it before, but now it's fairly common on the A line. Maybe they started storing the trains outside or something.

It reminded me of a trainyard I stumbled through at dawn in Germany. All the trains were retired, and absolutely covered in gorgeous grafitti. I didn't have my camera with me, and have regretted it ever since.

May you never know . . .



Tuesday 14 August 2007

I liked this little bit of graffiti, and it fit nicely with Sunday's post. It says: May you never know whether you are right or left handed. (Because you only use your feet, to play futbol, that is.)

Graffiti 5



Friday 22 June 2007

Check out this awesome graffiti! I took a different route to class today, and stumbled upon this little gem.

The reason I took a different route to class today is that I had an interview with a publishing company where a friend of mine works. It went well, and they want to hire me on full-time for a couple of months to do some proofreading and translating! I am so excited by this! First of all, I will get some useful translating experience, which is something to think about in the future. But also, thankfully, I will not have to spend 12 hours a day running around the city anymore!

Hummingbird



Thursday 14 June 2007

I am not feeling the best today- I either ate something that really disagreed with me, or caught a stomach virus somewhere along the line. I didn't really take any pictures today, because I spent all available time in bed (and the bathroom), so this is an archive photo I've been saving for just such an occasion. I'm going to magically and pyschically look into the future and guess the next couple of days might hold more of the same.

Either way, nice grafitti, huh? Colibri means hummingbird.

I teach in Jamaica!



Monday 19 February 2007

Floresta is the small barrioito next to Flores where I have a few classes. I saw this bit of graffiti the other day, and quite liked the idea that all this time I've been teaching on a tropical Caribbean island and didn't even know it.
