Graffiteur Madrid: Fade to grey...
A detail of a nice wall I came across on an unsuccessful attempt to see the Goya frescos in a church in Madrid. A nice consolation, don't you think? The tag is quite large and well done, but the sheer, grey blocked area kind of makes it even better. It's like the tag is bobbing in a perfectly still winter sea. (Found January 31, 2009.)
NEHEMIAH 2 "NEHEMIAH SENT TO JUDAH; NEHEMIAH VIEWS the WALL of JERUSALEM" recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK
NEHEMIAH 2 "NEHEMIAH SENT TO JUDAH; NEHEMIAH VIEWS the WALL of JERUSALEM" recorded for your spiritual enrichment by vanderKOK 2:1 Nehemiah Sent to Judah And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before. 2 Therefore the king said to me, "Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart." So I became dreadfully afraid, 3 and said to the king,"May the king live forever! Why should my face not be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire?" 4 Then the king said to me, "What do you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5 And I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, and if your servant has found favor in your sight, I ask that you send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it." 6 Then the king said to me (the queen also sitting beside him), "How long will your journey be? And when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. 7 Furthermore I said to the king, "If it pleases the king, let letters be given to me for the governors of the region beyond the River, that they must permit me to pass through till I come to Judah, 8 and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he must give me timber to make beams for the gates of the citadel which pertains to the temple, for the city wall, and for the house that I will occupy." And the king granted them to me according to the good hand of my God upon me. 9 Then I went to the governors in the region beyond the River, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me. 10 When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard of it, they were deeply disturbed that a man had come to seek the well-being of the children of Israel. 11 Nehemiah Views the Wall of Jerusalem So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days. 12 Then I arose in the night, I and a few men with me; I told no one what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem; nor was there any animal with me, except the one on which I rode. 13 And I went out by night through the Valley Gate to the Serpent Well and the Refuse Gate, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were burned with fire. 14 Then I went on to the Fountain Gate and to the King's Pool, but there was no room for the animal under me to pass. 15 So I went up in the night by the valley, and viewed the wall; then I turned back and entered by the Valley Gate, and so returned. 16 And the officials did not know where I had gone or what I had done; I had not yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials, or the others who did the work. 17 Then I said to them, "You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach." 18 And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king's words that he had spoken to me. So they said, "Let us rise up and build." Then they set their hands to this good work. 19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they laughed at us and despised us, and said, "What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?" 20 So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem."

Graffiteur NYC: Where the Buffalo Roam
Happy post-Thanksgiving! I, for one, am thankful to live in a city that still has great graffiti (or for that matter, ANY graffiti!). Yup! The Graffiteur came up with bupkes in Iowa. There wasn't a lick of graffiti in sight in the small town I was visiting, so today's post is one from my archives. It's from NYC, but aside from that I didn't keep any notes. Nonetheless, this poster with adorning spray paint is a beaut. Enjoy! (Found Winter 2009.) Join me next week when we check out some nice graffiti from Madrid.
Graffiteur NYC: Old Skool Graffiti Wall
These kinds of graffiti'd walls are harder and harder to come by, at least in NYC. This is also in the Little Italy/"Nolita" area. It's a wall that faces onto an empty, fenced-in (& locked) lot, and I bet anything that it will soon house a new condo building - the sad plight of so many of these types of lots. Soooo...Enjoy these great impromptu works of art while you can! (Found on November 21, 2009.)
