Thanks to KatieCalie at "What's in Katie's Mind" for turning me on to the graffs under the train tracks downtown. Katie's in high school here in Taichung and her blog lends some insight into the life of a Taiwanese high school student.

Another Stencil.Uncle Fester? This one is over by NOVA on a support column for the pedestrian overpass.

An abandoned kindergarten off of WuChuan Rd, I think. This is a couple of blocks behind Chung Shan hospital on Taichung Harbor Rd.

Omen & 4 Crew

There was a joke I recall about a (insert your racial stereotype here) and a (insert another racial stereotype here) who had a kid. What did he do? He spray painted his name on chain link fences.

Bobo on the ... front of... ok, I know it's a store. Let me get back to you on this one.

It's a shoe store, but I've never seen it open. They wouldn't have my size, anway.

Door Number 2

BOBO in mixed media on Chung Cheng Rd, just south of where it becomes Taichungkang Rd.

There's a string of shops that have had their doors done by 4Crew. The square piece by Bobo is bolted to the wall.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this before, but not in black and white.

I don't know who this guy is, but his picture is every where in this city.

The Great and Powerful Oz. Looks like the jackass in the White House.

One eye blind, the other eye scanning the way ahead for obstacles. No time to talk.

Another whisper from Omen.

Admiring the local talent.

OMEN under the train tracks. I can't remember what street this is...it's South of the train station.

Birds on a Wire.

BOBO!

Lucky Lucky 88. A few new stencils lately

Say No Evil. Phonebox by the first canal up from the train station.

All those angles and arrows...looks like FAST. This is on a wall just up from the Post Office on Yingtsai Rd.

Double Omen tag a few blocks north of the art museum.

Taichung Teachers College on Minsheng Rd.

A message to the local children...

In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves, "Wo" (3rd tone)

Me, Me. Jeezis, it's just like the 80's.

This one look familiar? Its cousin is hidden away in a parking lot off Kungyi Rd.

Upside Down Secret Message

You just can't find any birthday cards in Taichung.

The Crux of the Biscuit is the Apostrophe.

Man, I wish I could do this. All got is a camera to share this stuff with you.

This one looks familiar, too.
