Short post today, but more insightful and meaningful ones to come. I am pooped, but had a great day today. 2 and a half hour walking graffiti tour, in the pouring rain. Then salon time....torture, but cheap! Then dinner with everyone at crepes and waffles.
This graffiti drawing illustrates a place in Colombia where the poor are so poor that the people who have money use them to get from one place to another, on the poor ones back.
This was my favorite graffiti artist, name is Pez and always illustrates animals with bright colors and smiles.
These 2 are graffiti pieces done in protest of the slaughter of bulls, varies artists collaborated in it and the event where they slaughtered bulls did get shut down. Here one artist depicted the slaughter of a bull, and Pez drew the bulls having a fiesta. Below it says Fiesta for Todos- switched to Toros, bulls.
These were all over the city, they varied but directly relate to what is happening to the Colombian people at the time that they are placed. Here it is raining machine guns on the pedestrian.
