I still like the N E W O R D E R in big letters on the wall behind Arch Garage. The quality of graffitti in Galway is poor overall though...

Graffiti is of a poor standard overall. Even in college, it's Conor Newman this and Conor Newman that.

"Murt loves tits" however, is one for the ages.

It's a load of crusty guff. Ignore.

I remember there was "Don't go wild if your mind don't work" by the back of the Jes. Notable for quoting early 90s dance queen Leila K.

I thought the crustys had left town long ago? Dont tell me they are making a comeback.:eek:

I dont like tagging its pretty lame and pointless IMO and makes the place look like sh1t.

"J WOZ ERE"

A little touch up on the N E W O R D E R one wouldnt go astray but im sure the residents would beg to differ,cant blame them though.

Its gone too expensive for crustys and their addled brains don't understand the no smoking laws so they keep getting chucked out of The Small Crane. They all live in Co. Clare now - out the Tulla road and turn left at 1975...

My alltime favourite graffitto was in one of the toilets in the arts block in Trinity - 'What animal has its c unt halfway up its back? A police horse.'

Yep it got way too expensive for them, a good thing IMO.I ended up in the Crane Christmas eve just gone and the place was littered with them.It must have been some type of crusty reunion.

Robbo

The crusties I speak of are the middle class ones who like to sit in public places, with their dreads and bongos stinking up the place, as if their conspicuous consumption of low-grade soapbar gives them some kind of deep afinity with the spirit of Bob Marley.

po0k

"Jesus Wanked" or faded letters to that effect on the wall behind the Shantalla exchange in St. Mary's.


Legend.

Is somebody jealous???

the best graffiti in town is down by the canal near the roisin. feckin class but as usual covered in Ems + a sheep forever and all other childish bollox that scumbags think is hilarious

Aye.

To be honest, when graffiti is done well, it looks far far better than a load of concrete blocks with navy emulsion splashed over them.

Where applicable, wall sections should be designated as "Urban Art" displays, could have a system where you fire in an application + wee portfolio or sketch to the Council, the right person is in charge of selection and the successful applicant gets the go-ahead.
Could have a few optional themes (Galway arts festival, Galway history, McVities Vs Jacobs Jaffa Cakes etc.) could be used as free/low-cost and interesting promotional material.

Good graffiti takes time. If it's authorised, the artist(s) can concentrate of the work at hand instead of worrying about being picked up by the Cicíní. Would beat the piss out of having to paint over the "Deco 4 Jacinta 4 Evr" & "Haughey Did It" every now and then.

Look past the stigma of graffiti being antisocial.
The writing's on the wall.

There's some bollox which has painted "Uwe" or something all over the billboards across from the eye cinema and that shed as well. It looks like the exact same paint used to tag the fountain. The ones down the Spannish Arch were excellent

In bar 903, the first toilet cubicle in the lad's jax, nearest the sink, on the back of the door is my little mark..

Tagged as "Flesh"

Can somone tell me if it's funny or if it's shít?

Interceptor

The word 'Flesh' is only funny when a Japanese person uses it to describe the condition of their 'Flute' when making a flesh flute sarad.

Bar 903 is so last year...

No.. What I meant was.. I wrote something in the jax... and tagged it as "Flesh", which is my name....

If you happen to see what I wrote, let me know whether you thought it was amusing or down right sad.

"Flesh! AWAW you shaved every one of us..." (Unashamed Queen tribute)

Yes, RHG I knew what you meant, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to use the word 'flute' in a reply. I think it is the funniest word on the planet. No, no, YOU're a flute etc...

I think 'flesh' is a cool handle and I'd say the chicks in PJ's nightclub in Dunmore really dig it.

Your blinding vote of confidence shatters my pelvis!

plus people are always getting it wrong... They're like.. "Cool, you name is Flash?" I'm like, "No.. It's Flesh!" Then they go, "Oh..." cause that's all they can manage, because of the bizarriety (is that a real word?) of my name.

And 'cptr.. good going with the Queen reference, never heard that one before!:rolleyes:

Anyways... Is mise Flesh! Ta ocras orm!

Don't meditate upon it. It's hippy guff trying to explain a law of physics.

There used to be a good one down at UCG just on the walk under the Quincentennial bridge . It said " I got no idols , but I love your lips " . Not really graffitti in the artistic sense . Used to admire it as I walked past the odd time .
