Detail of Xitun wall.

Electricity for Saturday afternoon photography provided by Oldies Frank's. THE best hot dogs in Taichung. Go on back for another one, the menu keeps expanding.

Taiwan vs Canada. This wall on XiTun Rd got written up in the paper several months ago. I finally got around to finding it Saturday afternoon.

Another section.

Familiar Faces

The right side of the wall.

The Dive

The front door of The Dive on Hua Mei Xi St, just across the canal from Frank's Hot Dogs.

Evidence...apparently, someone has been writing graffiti near here!

Bobo.

Not Sure.

Taichung Tagged.

A long shot

The security guard of the parking lot where I took the other pictures told me to go look at these. He said they were pretty cool.

I dunno, this looks like an incomplete spelling of Omen.

A wider view.

SAME as it ever was.

This way up.

Name change for Sam? I dunno. Anyone? Anyone?

Bobo, May 2005, Taichung, Taiwan

4Cru, Taichung, Taiwan

A good omen.

New work from 4Cru on the side of Libaga liquors on Kungyi Rd in Taichung.

This Appears to be Old News

But it's still kinda cool to see. Taipei has opened up some Graffiti Parks, five of them to be exact.

"The city government is allowing graffiti in the parks primarily to let citizens express their ideas and opinions about life and let off some steam, he said, adding that the city government intends to take pictures of meaningful graffiti and exhibit it."

I wonder when that's going to take place.

Flutter Bys

The official bug of Taiwan. Narrowly beat out the cockroach, I believe.

Talking Heads

David Byrne.

Wa-Tah

What's Bruce Lee's Favorite Drink?

Sweet.

Sexy.

Glamour.

This was in an alley behind Finga's Deli.

Just a reminder.

Ants go marching...

And now, a commercial announcement.

Oldies Frank's Hot Dogs on Hua Mei St has the best dogs you're going to find in town, no doubt. Go there today. Eat two. Eat three. Wash them down with a nice cold beer, then eat some more. Nothing like a Frank.

SARS?

Puncture Wound.

Blue Yodel #9

Here's a little something I threw together in the Photoshop.

I think this one is Bobo, but who knows?

Caulking up the castle.

The influence of Disney? Taiwan's cute society?

Aww Foxey.

Ok, what's this one?

I'm totally blown away by the detail dude is able to get with a spray can.

Another bit of detail from that wall.

In its entirety.

Graffiti underworld, Chungming South. The ubiquitous spray can.

Got no eyes.

A bit more detail.

Here's the whole thing.

B-Ball, Hip Hop, Graffiti

Ahh yeah, the holy trinity. Did you know that George Harrison played lead guitar on Cheech & Chong's "Basketball Jones?"
