Graffiti Archaeology
I've always been interested in graffiti as there's been plenty of it here in Flint. I often wish I could have snapped pictures of “the block” near my old high school as it has changed over the years.

He folds paper, that is, and he folds it into the most ornate tessellation patterns! “One of Shafer's signature pieces is the “flasher.” The flasher hat below folds

The Bluesfear Worm
Could it really be the longest page on the Internet? These artists have put together a seemingly never ending “worm” of images, each one blending with the last. It's definitely a bright, fun and insteresting look at modern day pop culture. The graphics worm is now 63.88 ft and it has over 90 images so far!
