    There's loads on Crosses Green, little side street by the Deans hall apartment building. It's across the river behind the beamish brewery.

    Used to pass that every day a few years back, there was some really great artwork that went up there.

    I'm all for graffiti when it's art.pine street is class,also the side the house by the steps from Heineken up to Richmond hill is feckin class.think the houses there are shandon view cottages,I think.it is a ufo coming down over shandon.

    But will "nask" or "neask" ever go away.the poxy tag is everywhere I walk my dogs.it's very annoying and looks bad.

    Whoever it is,you clearly got talent,you got the paint.do something cool instead of being very annoying.

    Apologies for rant.

    You can stumble across some interesting stuff just by walking/cycling around e.g. spotted this off Fort St last Monday.

    The really well done stuff can look impressive and is art.

    It's the scribbles and the tagging that are annoying me. They're appearing in a lot of places and they're frankly the visual equivalent of dogs scent marking. They're not art.

    I am all for organised graffiti but theres too much illegal stuff , very bad in cork. used to complain about it in other countries.
    they need designated areas / exhibition areas and go after the vandals

    Another one in Crosses Green.

    A long fence near the white elephant that is Pairc Ui Chaoimh is attracting a bit of graffiti I spotted yesterday.

    Disappointed to see the big chicken by meitheal mara has been replaced.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,113 ✭✭✭opus


    These are excellent, although probably I'd call them street art rather than graffiti.
