Bomb it! For those not in the know, this is a term used by graffiti artists. It refers to moving in and quickly making your mark. It is also the title of a documentary about graffiti artists around the world.
It begins in Philadelphia with Corn Dog, the daddy of graffiti. It quickly moves around the world from Tokyo, to South Africa, to Sao Paulo and many places in between. It discusses why people participate in the art and discusses distinctions about the art. The one thing it doesn't do enough of is actually showing the art. Fortunately there are other avenues to do this.
I highly recommend this for those interested in the art and it's evolution!
The artist shown here is named Lord Leigh. I prefer graffiti that does not use the artist name as the piece. Give me images any day over stylized letters.
