so i've been volunteering at treasure city on mondays and some thursdays....and most days i ride my bike there from my house.....on the way i pass down navasota. and just north of long branch inn and bar is an abandoned or in any case dilapidated house with peeling paint. and on the side of it is a stenciled spray painted mural of two waif-ish lesbians in an intimate embrace, kissing. Not only are they waif-ish but they are scantily clad. Such are the wet dreams of east-side graffiti artists.....
what i didn't notice until a few hundred glances was that these lesbians aren't wearing lingerie exactly, but rather more demure hanes or some other granny-panties....so maybe they're not a wet dream after all......
on closer inspection i discovered that there was no shading at all on any of the figures. the entire composition is compiled from flat areas of grey, white or black.....so my hunch is that there was some kid out there who wanted to put up a painting of two lesbians at whatever cost. but in the end, fully naked or g-string wearing lesbians would require too much detail and technical attention to form. so, in the interest of time he flattened the forms with t-shirts and briefs.
such are the exigencies of street art.
the materials are pretty hardy. the lesbians have been kissing at least since march.
