I wonder how she passed away? I personally love murals and beautifully done grafitti - so nice to know there is a place it is allowed for public enjoyment. We have some nice murals here in TO - I should photograph more of them ASAP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graffiti-wall-on-the-corner-of-50th-roosevelt#post-586262 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:29:50 +0000 Lisa 586262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really interesting!

Your photos, like Angie's outfits, make my heart lift in a 'wow that's killer' way and I need to be reminded to say that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graffiti-wall-on-the-corner-of-50th-roosevelt#post-585772 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:42:51 +0000 celia 585772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the story , it adds to the fabulous pictures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/graffiti-wall-on-the-corner-of-50th-roosevelt#post-585769 Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:37:09 +0000 morethanbeige 585769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the background, Greg.

While we were there we saw a few artists doing their thing. I chatted to one graffiti artist who goes by the name "What It Do". That's him with a newly completed work. The letters are N.O.D., the name of the crew he associates with. It stands for "Not On Dope".</p> <p>He also explained the significance of the word "aybee" that's on the wall in many places. One of the few female Seattle graffiti artists, Ana Dyson (previously Ana Bender and also known as "AB") had passed away in February, and other graffiti artists were paying tribute to her. One part of the wall had a painting of her where people had left flowers. </p>
