Eye of the Beholder


Generally, I'm a fan of graffiti - I qualify that by pointing out not all graffiti is equal.  This age old street art requires a combination of imagination, basic materials, fast work and large bold confident strokes.  The results of talented artists can be breathtaking.  I was drawn to this piece from across a downtown side street - its vibrant colors, and dynamic flows were great.  The canvas?  The side of a chip truck.  Unfortunately, as often seen, the good was juxtaposed by bad graffiti (off image) defacing the piece with details of what some guy named Moz does in his private time.
