While out walking with my girlfriend this weekend we found this cute little graffiti on a wall we were passing. The shadows of some twigs gave it an underwater feeling I have enhanced using duotones.

Timeless(?) art
I had been working late at a customer of ours and was walking through an underpass below the railway track on Skøyen in Oslo, Norway when I spotted this little curious effect on one of the concrete walls. On one wall there was a lot of graffiti and text, on the opposite wall there was a hole letting through the yellow light from the streetlights nearby. The light created a spotlight effect on the wall with all the graffiti. One word lit up, and the contrast was so hard that most other “art” was hidden in the dark.
Not exactly street art
I don’t know about you, but I always seem to feel that there are two kinds of graffiti lining up our city walls right now. The art: well executed, often illegal, maybe beautiful, complex figures or drawings on a wall. The other kind: Signatures and quick squiggles on a wall, ugly and badly executed. This is one of the last. I guess they are left by people with no talent and a great need for writing their name everywhere.
