GraveYard
If there’s one thing Houston’s news programs love, it’s stories about fire on the freeway.
I’m lovin’ this flick, which, in addition to the requisite inferno, features a nice shot of a GY bomb on the back of a sign.
Bathroom Graffiti
I was trolling around on YouTube when I found this documentary on bathroom graffiti that was filmed in Austin while I was a student at the University of Texas.
It’s got interviews with professors, a segment on grout writing (with which I admittedly am pretty familiar) and, you know, lots of shots of toilets.
Got nine minutes to blow? Check it out.
SEVER and HENSE
Many thanks to Michael Cameron for sharing these flicks.
I’m especially diggin’ this first one.
Give Up and YAR!
Over in Midtown, there’s a high-rise that’s been derelict for what seems like forever. It’s a regular hangout for the homeless and a common place for commercial-poster people to place their bandit advertisements – so much so that the owners put up chain-link fence on most the walls a while back.
The cool part about all that: The fence has preserved several unique Give Up posters, sealing them up for temporary posterity.
Around the corner, this YAR! work, a duet of his philosopher characters, shows what happens without chain-link.
Bombshell Poison Revisited
As promised, here are some 2006 flicks of that area behind Poison Girl.
These definitely aren’t the best photos I’ve ever taken, but at least they’re better than nothing.
