Sweet Stuff in the Graff

First, right above, the first picture you see here, is one of my very favorite works of graffiti art. It was executed by master painter Deuce Seven (27) sometime before 2007, photographed on October 12, 2007 by 14-2-1. This is the most visually exciting way I can introduce you to a concept I thought of this morning: fruit in graffiti. I saw a spraypainted picture of a strawberry and it sparked my imagination. What’s going down with pieces of food, especially fruits, sitting there in the middle of an epic street art piece? Looking rather fruity! Looking rather juicy, colored to please the eye to the max, made to stimulate the eyeballs and the tastebuds and the jaw full of drool. And not only that, once I started my search for a collection, I found graffiti of fruit, containing fruit, ABOUT fruit and even ON fruit. Take a peekie!

NOTE: I/We’ve done collection posts before, but I’m trying here to be a bit more thorough than in the past about connecting which of the many pictures are connected to which photographer, so there’s going to be a huge-assed list for people who want to use images for college essays and stuff.

NOTE NOTE: If you write a college essay about fruit in graffiti, PLEASE tell me so I can publish it here on WFDJ in full. That would be utterly fantastic.
