Austin Graffiti

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.

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

Big thanks goes out to Winnie for these excellent pictures of the East 5th permission wall. Thanks to the C.C.C. for the non-permission wall pictures from south Austin.

If you’ve got graff pics send them in and you’ll get your very own shoutout, complete with a link to your blog or website.

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.

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.
