Bristol has been a big player on the global graffiti scene since the early eighties, spawning many of its most notorious and talented protagonists. This spring the RWA invites some of the most prominent artists in the city to adorn its galleries in their own inimitable way.
This milestone event will showcase the depth of creativity on the Bristol scene, pushing the boundaries and challenging expectations of this ubiquitous and often misunderstood art form.

This is my favorite..
It shows 2 National Guardsmen Looting. After I abandoned my apartment after Katrina.. My elderly neighbor next door saw a Guardsman exit my place with one of my cameras. He was then forced onto a bus to evacuate when he wanted to stay,and ended in a shelter in Shreveport for a month before he was able to return.
