Art and graffiti seen here and there

Ever since I moved to my current neighborhood seven years ago, I have seen many things. One of those things that I have seen is street art or graffiti. Which comes up but doesn't stay for long. When I first arrived I remember seeing spray paint stencils of grizzly bears with a bright red heart. I have also seen some really nasty and vulgar street art which I will not talk about in this blog. I was going to include a graffiti stencil of a teddy bear with a toy machine gun painted on glass, which I took this past Sunday, but I thought it was tasteless and decided to delete it from my phone. I am not endorsing graffiti on this blog, but I am posting these pictures as an observation what I see walking through my neighborhood. Here is some of the street art that I have encountered:

Here is a graffiti tag of Marilyn Monroe taken last year. It looks almost photographic in a sense. When I took this picture, I ended up missing my bus, and to wait an hour for the next one.

Same Marilyn, but wearing 3-D glasses, taken in June of this year.

Pac-Man graffiti taken in August of last year. I see a great deal of Pac-Man graffiti art in this area from time to time. This the only picture I could get.  

Banksy may have been a inspiration, but it does not compare to a work like his. This was taken last year and I found it to be sloppy, and it was removed the next day. Notice the Pac-Man influence, on the upper right corner.

Came upon this while going from one garage sale to another, earlier this year. I thought it was cute, even though it was on someone else's property.

My favorite, took this in early April of this year. The cats with question mark shaped tails, seem to point to an uncertain future. I have always had a affinity to cat related art.
