Graffiti in suburbia

I pass these postboxes on my route to work every day, and I always wonder who decided to paint them in the middle of a suburb. And I can actually read the one word, which is amazing, and it's english! LOL! Do you think the guy who painted it didn't like his post one day?

I actually stopped the car today and, in fact, got out of it to take the shots! Wonders never cease. LOL! There was a guy who stopped to get his post while I was there, and he didn't want to even get out of his car because of my camera - it was very funny.

lol, I always joke that you can tell how artisitc the neighbourhood by the quality of the graffiti.

In the UK we stayed in a villlge with an international art college, there was some amazing stuff to be seen :)

So I can't read the word. What does it say?

Nats, it says "name" which is a bit strange. There's another word before it which I can't read.

Tanja, I must admit that last night I did some googling on graffiti and I saw some amazing stuff - what we see here is quite boring actually.

Donovan works with a graffitti artists and I asked him what the significance of the words written on the neighbourhood walls is and he said it's often the name of their graffitti group they work with on weekends...

Cool pic!!

Some graffiti is really neat, but most of the stuff that we see has been done by gangs and drug sellers.
