inner city

Went to an inner city artists' market on my own, looking for a present for my younger daughter. The graffiti is a striking feature of the nearby area. Overall it gives an ugly impression to a visitor. Tagging is definitely puerile and disfiguring: messy, egocentric and unimaginative. However, there is both art and heart in street art,
                             large scale

medium scale

and small.

There was sculpture

and some hidden sadness.

                                     In the market I bought some photographs of graffiti.
