December 3

Redwood Laundrymat

Though not posted much lately, I continue to document urban art in the San Diego area.
I believe it is important to do so because almost all urban art is damaged, vandalized or disappears within a short period of time.
Many of the artists are not well known, but are very talented and creative, as these two murals show.
The Laundromat parking lot was conveniently empty today. It's located at the corner of 30th and Redwood Streets.

Please view this original size.

Each side is well done, but so different. I think the city and owners should keep the artistic murals in place. Now for the taggers... that's is simply eye spam.V

Ich mag Graffiti. Sie machen die Welt ein wenig bunter, und sie sind mit das Beste, was man mit einer hässlichen Wand machen kann. Selbst dann, wenn es sich um sinnfreie Botschaften handelt. v

This art and the trees on the horizon bring life and a human dimension to a drab urban landscape. Thank you for sharing. V

A beautiful art street superbly captured. Created for other reasons, these works share the fate of the Buddhism Sand mandala destroyed by their creators as soon as achieved. V.

Was für eine schöne und fantasievolle Graffiti. Der unbekannte Künstler hat das etwas trostlos aussehende Gebäude echt verschönert. Gut gesehen und fotgrafiert, Walter! V

What a great find and superb panoramic capture of it. It's sad to think this kind of art is destroyed, but I'm glad that you're documenting it for posterity. V.

Sad to hear its getting ruined, these artists actually make some buildings look better.

Nice colors and verticals in this wide view.
The one artist appears to be a natural and may
have had training. Well seen!
