Graffiti and Street Art in Somerville

Boston will never be a Mecca for graffiti or street art - which means that when I do catch a colorful glimpse of spray-paint it really makes an impression. Much of the time I'm in a car or on the T and I spy something out of the corner of my eye in some dark alley or underpass. The truth is - I don't spend as much time partying along the train tracks as I used to. So when I saw easy access to this stretch of tracks while walking in Somerville I boldly looked both ways for oncoming trains and took some photos.







Nice to see Wolf Tits back in the scene. I was bummed when the one in Chinatown got covered.










I found some other crazy crap scattered about the train tracks. I don't like to use filters on my photos too much, but sometimes they actually work...


And here's an example of some rare street art sculpture...


Beware the Owel Shot...
