if i could find a definition other than these photos (taken back in 2006) i would certainly share it (talk to jeff topham @ westworld magazine - he's the guy i lifted it from).

i just read an exciting story about what i've always believed to be just amazing graffiti... down on the east side @ homer & cordova is a wall of brilliantly realized art (the concept, and the colours are brilliant). according to jeff the work was "created in 2005 by gabe stone, vincent dumoulin, and amos daniel of "cold world media" the city actually provided the paint and building owners paid the artists. the art is worth a look - it is hard to miss in a maze of grime covered alleys littered with bins and strewn with poles and power cables.
