Calamari And True Love
Two graffiti from the road leading from our place into campus and town. The first is under the freeway right near campus. The text reads “Looks Like Rain”.
The second one at right is from the bridge over Putah Creek. I expect it will last longer than the first one: the campus grounds people usually paint over graffiti under the freeway pretty quickly.

I love the octopus!
The octopus: an arch commentary on the influence of the media – or just a fun, whimsical image? A shame that sort of thing gets painted out, though I suppose the artist can reuse the stencil elsewhere.
Ahem. That’s a squid.
Oh, right. Wonder if it’s a form of tagging, like rats in Banksy’s work, since squids are associated with ink?
