Graffiti / Archaeology

The archive at Graffiti Archaeology contains one of the most beautiful pieces of SF graf I've ever seen, of three elephants. Seismic construction to the 101 (overhead) and Mission Bay project (adjacent) probably obliterated it, but for many years it was visible just before the first Caltrain tunnel after the SF terminus, strangely permanent in the evanescent world of graffiti.

"The tunnels in Leeds are perfect for dirt graffiti. All you need is a sock and an idea," says Moose on his web site (I can't find his web site, so I've linked to Google search results for [Moose graffiti]). Ah, graffiti! beloved graf, trendy "street art" (this last site has a terrific gallery of Barcelona murals, stencils, and collage) .
