It's public art. Why do you call it grafitti? Because it's painted on a building? This isn't a wall full of tags. This is an incredible display of creative talent to be admired. This isn’t grafitti.

This doesn't look like typical ghetto thug graffiti to me. I don't think there's anything wrong with colorful murals if the art is actually art. As opposed to scribble scrabble words/names or paintings that look like a 5yo did them.

I can tell you this is graffitti. It looks just like the mess that they put up at pedro's and at the pizza shop on bridge. and I don't live in the neighborhood. Only work here and would rather see cleaner "sterile" walls in the neighborhood. jbee contrary to what your interpretation of a mural is. I can tell you this is graffitti.

Stuff like this is what makes art accessible for residents and speaks to people. This is what makes Dumbo a great neighborhood; not the sterile new buildings and stiff 'suits' declaring war on graffiti. jbee is on point. How does this reflect badly? And how do you define a classy neighborhood? Yeah, people say this a lot, but if you don't like it, why do you live here? The artists of 303 have talent and I love the details in the mural. Look at the reflection of purple, red, and green light on the elephants. I love the dark wolves, Tron's angel, and Cam's ganesh elephants. On top of that, I hope their message of communication and harmony (despite the obstacles) bring them much success.
