Heaven


Heaven is a skateboard park in downtown Hartford.  Every surface is covered with graffiti street art.


Even walls higher than anyone can reach without a ladder.

  3. I like them. I also like how they will go around a genuine painting.

  4. The female figure reminds me of Vermeer's painting of "The Girl With the Pearl Earring."

  5. Some are good and others just tagging which is unfortunate.

  6. A familiar style. I see a lot of it here. That Vermeer "girl" looks better with the pearl earrings!

  7. In one way it's sad that the graffiti makers have obscured the more conventional mural, but maybe it's better to see it as evolving layered collaborative art?

  8. Kate is right about the similarity to the Vermeer painting to the image in this mural. I also am impressed by the dragon mural.

  10. That dragon is gorgeous, but a bit scary. Those light bulbs had me laughing. Amazing find.
