I noticed within the first few days of familiarizing myself with Tel Aviv that there’s a lot of interesting and creative graffiti spray painted randomly throughout the city.
There’s something distinctly non-American about the way the graffiti is crafted. Often, they’re cut from stencils rather than freestyle spray painting. The American graffiti I’ve come across usually consists of indiscernible gang lingo or a large creative mural of the tagger’s girlfriends name.
I’ve started to accumulate a decent sized computer file filled with pictures of the graffiti here and I’ve decided that I’d like to post a weekly picture of the ones I find most interesting for that particular week.
Perhaps I’ll name the series, “Tagged Tuesdays”?

Stencil graffiti has been a growing “revolution” across the globe, and lots of it can be found in Chicago too. Google “Bansky” if you’re interested in checking out some work by a pretty “famous” English graffiti stenciler. It’s associated more with art-school-punks than gang-bangers, for sure.
