Back when there was only one REI in the world, and it was here in a fairly informal part of Seattle, they had a great piece of graffiti.
It was sprayed on a wall in a parking lot REI shared with a small art space (I think it was a little theatre):
"What wonderful memories I'd have if only I were more adventurous."
I thought it suited both the artists and the outdoors folks quite well!

When you asked Mr. Trail Honey "what's your sign?", was that his response?

Maybe that one was intended for illiterate delivery drivers?

This one's from Valencia. Apparently I let DH shoot the opposite panel and I don't have a copy of the image. This side is the city as the artist would like to see it. The opposite panel is a grim, but equally well-executed, vision of the city as the artist sees it now.

Most of the graffiti I see here is on freight trains. Anything else we get it pretty hideous, tags by pseudo-gang members. There have been a few times I wished the train would stop so I could take a closer look.

Eden- that's hilarious!
Like Karen, the only graffiti around here is little gang banger thugs tagging things. I'd be down for some artistic graffiti, tho.
I like the coffee pot!
