The Force Awakens…Through Graffiti

Hello all! Since the new Star Wars movie came out today, I thought I’d share a few rad pictures of Star Wars graffiti art. Stretching down a busy road filled with candy wrappers, gator heads, and crawling ants, the Southwest 34th Street Wall in Gainesville, Florida is notorious for student produced art. Controversial, hilarious, commemorative, and downright wicked, this Wall has seen thousands of skillful murals and crooked pieces of text spray painted by drunk college kids. Recently, soaring paintings depicting beloved Star Wars characters has reappeared on the Wall, gratefully covering up Sorority and Fraternity letters no one cares about with talent and iconic pop culture.

As you can see, kissing in front of Walls is one of my favorite shenanigans…

May the Force be with you!
