I was sooo speechless when I found this graffiti!

It was on the toplevel of a huge parking space and it was getting really cold and as I already had taken tons of shots of amazing pieces, I didn't expect to find another one which was still better than the others.

But here it was - couldn't help shouting out loud. Hehe...

wow!! what a piece of art! bright colors for a dark message!! ^_^

Yes! At first, I wondered if the Name of the artist might just be "R.I.P.", but there is a name included in the middle, and a signature too. And it has the most prominent place of all of the graffitis..
so, actually sad background. But couldn't find out anything about it.

A great shot of a remarkable work. I also like the "artistic" graffiti surrounded by the everyday graffiti of tags, and the contrast between them.

Hey, thanks, Stevie! I would have actually prefered, if it would have been in full sunlight or full shadow..but I don't really want to go there again (well, not on my own) and so this was the occasion.

And I agree about the different styles! It's amazing how they are combined in one well-balanced big piece of art.
