The theme remains Graffiti/Street Art but I just wanted to throw some ideas out there on how the theme can be expanded.


Various kinds of graffiti: In addition to everything else.

Bathroom graffiti. Can be artistic or humorous or just plain typical.


by French artist Decktwo


by who the heck knows?


by everyone it seems.

All still bathroom graffiti.

Tagging - a form of graffiti. Simple and elaborate.





On cars and trains:










The tools of graffiti/street art:






The consequences:




Various kinds of street art that can be used.


Store front art:





Sidewalk art: Chalk, paintings in 3d,








The offbeat and humorous:






So don't limit yourself with this theme. You can take this theme in many directions. I'll make a note in the submission thread and in the prelim threads (for the purpose of voting) that all aspects of graffiti/street art are acceptable. From the spray cans to the dirty hands and everything in between.

I hope this helps! (at least some)


Thanks!

Solly!


And a big !!!THANK YOU!!! to Mira for her suggestions.

I don't want anyone to feel they have to sit a contest out because of a limiting theme. I would hate that.
