A Rough Patch

Funny how art can hit one.

When I saw these 2 faces, I felt something I know but couldn’t put into words.

It’s got something to with that they are attractive faces,

but the wall is rough.

We all go through rough patches, now and again.

Perhaps that’s whyI love Graffiti Alley art so much.

It’s one big rough patch, but there’s good stuff in it.

The Artists?

It’s All Over Now Baby Blue

This is the Blue Face that lured me to an abandoned convenience island in midtown.

I have found many blue faces on walls over the years.

They are a braw high octane bohemianism to me.

Big Asp square sunglasses are all important for that je ne sais quoi look.

Someone had tagged this with an RIP done in felt pen.

I removed the bit from the chin on some, and left the rest.

Love those car reflections!

Sketchy

I love the way this looks like a sketch on a wall.

The female face is fab.

There is also a male profile. He appears to be praying.

Here is the entire image. There is no artist signature. There is a red # message.

Did the artist put the # message there? Is the # message a tag?

Eye think the # message is a TAG! With or without the #message, I also think there is a message in here, but have no real idea what.

Jimi Hendrix and Bob Dylan

“If there is something to be changed in this world then it can only happen with MUSIC” – Jimi Hendrix

This is over a pub called “Pour Boy”.

I recognized Jimi immediately.

There was another face, but only a part of a face. For some reason, I got Robert Palmer stuck in my head.

This was my 3rd time here. It’s on a busy side street.. delivery trucks, cars parked or driving up and down, people galore. No room to take pics, until this day. I thought, I’ll grab Jimi, anyway.

As I was leaving, I saw this around the corner. Id never seen around the corner before.

Looks like Dylan to me!

Dead on, it did not make sense. I had to find the angle. Jimi recorded one of Dylan’s songs, “All Along the Watchtower”. I was angst over whose version to put here. Then I remembered Playing for Change. 🌟 Brilliant 🤩 A must see!
