graveyard

this was a square done by rene k, depicting the time we got into a car accident that was my fault. no major injuries, but she bumped her head pretty hard and was freaked out; made a trip to the hospital. i haven't put this square up, and don't think i will anytime soon. i'm kinda getting bored of this project. i think i'll put up a few more key ones and then be done with it.

Hecho

this is a square done by a kid named nick, i think. pretty neat, and i put it in my neighborhood. it was in a good spot, by a baseball field, and then it blew away pretty quickly, as i saw it on the ground the next day like 2 blocks away. i didn't pick it up, but imaged some kid picking it up and thinking it was cool and bringing it home. prolly not, but it's nice to daydream.

God is Blue & No One Stops

two more by kyle castillo. his squares were some of my favorites, he had quite a knack for being smart with a pen, minimalism at times but just straight graffiti at others. these are one cottage street, just down from macy's etc. i was talking to mary jessica (emjayok.blogspot.com) that i really don't talk to him since he's moved, and that sucks. i think it's because i always suspected (and think it's probably true) that he was [edit], years ago, but now i really don't care, and even would feel closer to him now because of it. pure hearsay, now, so it matters not. "when we are forced to look back, we never really know".

beer and tradition

a square by "steve", which steve i don't really know. and the menorah by reuben, i think. posted near the casebeer's house, cordially referred to as 'stab mountain' these days. the symbolism of the menorah meaning (to me) family and tradition, that which is spearheaded in this scene by the casebeer brothers, two of the most awesome and honest guys to be a part of (not to mention basically construct) our current little scene. the symbolism of the beer square is quite apparent. this one is dedicated to the casebeers, may they live in flagstaff high above our lovely conceptions of drama and complication.
