Between 2005 and 2007 I took nearly 450 pictures of street art and graffiti around the Dublin area, primarily in the city centre and the South-Eastern suburbs. At first using a number of throwaway cameras and then an Olympia digital camera. I was hoping to capture a little bit of Dublin graffiti social history with the fanciful idea of putting a book together of all my snaps. I soon lost interest but thought it would be worthwhile to upload the best snaps here so they don’t go to complete waste. Enjoy.
The sixth feature in our series is on Stencil Art both political and non-political.
Great series.
In a tequila-fueled attempt at humour I stencilled
‘No Crossley Tenders Beyond This Point’
on a wall near Croker on the morning of the first Ireland/England match there.
Got lagged instantly by the Gards and spent the day in Wheatfield prison for my troubles.
That “Remember Carlo Giuliani” piece is mine coincidentally enough; not sure I even knew you when I did it!
brb, reporting you to the polis.
Good man Sean I love your “No Crossley Tenders” piece, pity the cops didn’nt respect that freedom of expresion part in the constitution, but I suppose all great art has a price.
