Fresh paint at Villabon

P19
out of the subway, Rael, imperial aerosol kid, 
exits into daylight, spraygun hid


Pest
no-one seems to care


 hovering like a fly, waiting for a windshield on a highway



 there's something moving in the sidewalk steam




Pener
 they call me the trail balzer - Rael, electric razor


  chamber of 32 doors


and then in the darkened underpass I thought 
"oh god, my chance has come at last"
but then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask


the medium is the massage




rockface moves to press my skin



when it's cold it comes slow, it is warm, just watch it grow


it is here, it is now



just a little bit of it can bring you up or down

 Pest


it is chicken, it is eggs


it is walking on the moon


it is the purple haze
and you'll never hear surf music again


it's the same old ending 
time to go
Art mostly by P.19 crew

Fight for your rights


In Brest anarchists have painted graffiti “Fight for your rights.”
“For the moment the living conditions in our country are getting worse and worse: salaries are cut, new laws, directed against the people, are introduced, taxes are raised and so on. The authorities are not interested by the life of common people, they are interested by how to steal more, nothing else. We have only one solution: to fight for our rights,”

Revolution Of Conscience is already underway

Revolution Of Conscience Graffiti Created In Minsk

On Monday the trial in the case of the so-called graffiti artists is to be held in the court of Frunzenski district of Minsk.

Three young men – Viachaslau Kasinerau, Vadzim Zharomskiand Maxim Piakarski – are charged with “defiling of buildings and property damage” and “hooliganism.”

Nasha Niva has published a photo of the scandalous graffiti Revolution of Conscience.
See that for yourself.

The trial is to be presided by Judge Ala Skuratovich. Maxim Piakarski, Vadzim Zharomski and Viachaslau Kasinerau are to stand the trial. One more person involved in the case, Yaraslau Ulianenkau, is to testify, he had been cleared of all charges.

We remind that on August 11 five men were violently arrested on suspicion of involvement in three criminal cases: painting two graffiti in Belarusian, “Belarus Must Be Belarusian,” and “Revolution of consciousness is already underway”, and painting over a social billboard with an image of policemen.
The Investigative Committee accused Maxim Piakarski, Vadzim Zharomski and Viachaslau Kasinerau under Article 339 part 2, “Hooliganism committed by a group of persons.”

Soon incarceration was replaced by a pledge to appear in the court and proper conduct to Piakarski and Zharomski, however the criminal case against them was not closed.

Death in custody


all things begin and end in eternity


the question you've been wanting to ask ever since we met


 My interest is energy - transference of energy


My life isn't secret, Mr. Farnsworth, but it is private


If you sell it to me now, you can't redeem it later


I'm quite fond of a lot of the graffiti round here but I'm very aware that it doesn't say anything.  Nothing at all.  This one does.  This is saying there were five deaths in custody in Winchester Prison during a three month period in 2015.

What can you say?  Well, reading some of the comments below the line of the local newspapers that have reported this it appears you can say anything you like.  Apparently, if someone has committed a crime then they're fair game.  There appear to be many without sin who are prepared to cast the first stone.

Lost and Found at Fontainebleau


I'm consciousness. I'm alive


Don't laugh, I'm being cool


Don't let people take away your potential


People are always fearful of something they don't understand


This is a new kind of life form, a new step in evolution


You've taught us so much more than I can ever have imagined


Remember. No matter what happens. You are made for good


Mommy loves you!


You think you're real?


You look so happy. Like little happy chappie

Rousseau and Millet of the Barbizon School

I can't save you


I know you don't understand, but it's okay


It's too early to tell how this is all going to play out
