Big Pieces on the East Side

So, in order to bring you guys all the latest in graffiti news, we have two writers now. We’ve been kind of lagging on the posts, so please excuse us during the busy school year, etc., etc.

Lately I’ve been trompin’ around the east side of Austin and I’ve found some really nice stuff there. I’m not sure how old it is, but it’s definitely worth sharing.

Stay tuned for more.

More decent Graff coverage from KXAN:

Artists Angel Quesada and Lannea Brooks are pleading their cases to the Travis County District Attorney after Austin police arrested them in October for graffiti.

According to a petition both have set up online, prosecutors are charging them with a “class a” misdemeanor for graffiti.

You’ve probably already seen these clever stencils around town lake. Huge thanks to Reese for sending in these photos. It’s nice to see something quasi-political.

Abels, Sayer, Cyst, Rodeo Pieces

Writers really love these white delivery trucks. The Berg face is an Austin icon these days.

Thanks to Carly for the above 4 shots. HABITS has been up around West Campus lately. There was an enormous hollow over the front of an abandoned storefront, but the building was taken apart a few days ago.

This colorful CYST piece was sent in anonymously.

Abels and Sayer have some of the most elaborate pieces in Austin. This piece was sent in by a local photographer, but I’m not sure if he wants to be identified by name.

Anonymously submitted pics

Someone with a cell phone camera sent the first four in. The rest were taken by Carly.

Carly is a graff fiend. Here are photos from many of the big local crews:

I’m living downtown again so expect more pictures soon. If you have any graff pictures of your own, send them in to mitnicksimon@yahoo.com.

KUDOS Arrested

Austin police claim to have arrested KUDOS.

Detective Kevin Bartles said in the warrant that police were able to match Fitzgerald to the graffiti because of his tag, “KUDOS,” and the distinctive handwriting he used. Bartles said he used samples from Fitzgerald’s MySpace page photos, samples on local structures, and the evidence left on the wall and mirror of his cell in the Travis County Jail.

KUDOS has been featured previously on Austin Graffiti in May.
