Me by Darm Darm up at Liberty Bar – Austin TX
I have long been fascinated by what I some call graffiti art – I have always called it guerilla art for it’s aura of below the radar stealthy action , and element of mystery.
It started for me maybe 10 years ago when images of random vegetables started appearing around Austin, on electrical panel boxes and under highway overpasses, it became a fun game for me and my then toddler to spot the broccoli. Over time other images appeared, hedgehogs, nursery rhyme characters, buddy holly glasses. I wish I had documented them all.
Well now have my very own graffiti artist living next door! Imagine my thrill to find my very own piece of art on my recycling bin one morning!
Darm Darm on my Recycling
Going under the tag name Darm Darm – I asked Bradley to take me around East Austin to show me where some of his stuff was up and to even partake in the paste-up process. He calls them “paste-ups” I watched him make the paste before going out
mixing up the wheat paste
Cutting out a piece of art for pasting
so after cutting out the pieces he wanted to use – we headed out to East Austin – our first stop a dumpster next to Shangri-La
