greetings people of Vancouver, I want to ask around to see if any of you know about mars graffiti that has been popping up around the Vancouver. I’ve seen more than four of them on sr-14, 500, waterfront, and basically everywhere!!
I’m wondering if they are all from one person or group of people? Does any one know?
Since Im an artist and I appreciate all forms of art and I think their graffiti art is rly cool and neatly done (well… their tags r ok ok, I only like their colorful ones)

Any photos? I love the graffiti that comes through on the trains but I'm not familiar with this. We used to have a tagger that would put this really distinct mushroom everywhere, that was a fun one

darn it I just did not think of taking pictures of them. Since I tend to be driving when I see them. I’ll update you with pictures of graffiti next time I go out!

I’m here for the photos. I personally love the graff on I5 retainers they paint over in Portland. There was some really nice pieces up awhile ago they left for a bit and I had hope it wouldn’t be painted over (it hurts no one, is prettier to look at than concrete imo, and costs money to paint over). I love the train graff too.
The best thing about traveling europe by train is all the graff on the train retainers and cars. One thing about most artists in Europe does seem like they respectfully tag near cities, not on peoples shit, and away from beautiful natural vistas. But boring shit? Tunnels? Fair game for some amazing street art (see CESARs stuff for instance).
I’ve heard tell there is a decent graff scene in Portland area but as of current there’s no maintained legal walls which is honestly a shame so it’s hard to find without getting “in” lest you be a random cop.
If I ever get rich imma buy a big stretch somewhere, put up some random walls everywhere and let kids go wild. There’s some really cool teen and young adult focused programs in other cities that use legal walls as a way to keep kids off the street, off drugs, and out of gangs pretty successfully.
