'I'll give you my forever'


..And todays updates.
I was taking a leisurly stroll the other day when i came across this graffiti art. There i was, just staring at it, trying to figure out why it appealed to me so much and eventually i realised i was drawn to this piece of art so much because it was so out of context.
When i think of graffiti art i think of robotic characters and claims of whose 'hood' it is but this piece is like poetry, a very street like piece of poetry.
'I'll give you my forever'.. what a claim! It really sparks an emotion within me. It's not cliche and it really adds a new dimension to graffiti art. A more gentle side. Also the apparent contrast in the rough brick background, a very masculiine image and the pink writing surrounded by hearts and stars, a very feminine image adds variety to the image and sparks interest...would you agree?
I find it, as one would say- inspiration because it restores my faith in that thing called love.
Well thats all we have time for today

  1. i wonder if they're referring to the ben harper song.

    'i'm not talking about a year,
    no not three or four,
    i don't want that kind of forever
    in my life anymore.
    forever always seems to be around
    when it begins,
    but forever never seems
    to be around when it ends.
    so give me your forever.'

  2. I love when little things (like graffiti) surprise you in the best ways.
