Graffiti 59: Richmond

There's a lot of graffiti in Richmond. If you are looking for it you can see it all over. In any city and I think it says something about that city. Richmond graffiti differs because most of it is tags. There's very few stencils or stickers that are graffiti for graffiti sake. There is a ton of stickers that advertise bands and tattoo parlors but not a lot that are artistic or make a statement.
Devil Mitt in Pipeline Park.
I'm guessing Cntralex is the artist. This was also in Pipeline Park.
“Graffiti is one of the few tools you have if you have almost nothing. And even if you don't come up with a picture to cure world poverty you can make someone smile while they're having a piss.”-Banksy

“Art is an evolutionary act. The shape of art and its role in society is constantly changing. At no point is art static. There are no rules.”-Raymond Salvatore Harmon

“Graffiti is an impulse to get recognized”-Mint&Serf
