Graffiti: It has been around since ancient times - there are examples dating back to Ancient Greece and Rome - and is more or less ubiquitous these days. This form of expression is somewhat controversial, but I find some graffiti rather appealing. In fact, I'm going to devote some time and energy photographing the more amusing illustrations as an ongoing project.
This particular example is a stencil graffiti, a technique originating in the early 1980s, and was painted on the rear wall of the arched beach shelter at Alum Chine, Poole Bay, Dorset. This method is popular, as it greatly reduces the chances of the artist being caught.
