    Agree with the war or disagree, I think this is a powerful image that brings the impacts home. A shadow on the street, something profound behind a simple sign. It is graffiti, sure, but it is far more social commentary than it is anything else.

    Stop the War?

      I have to agree that this is really a profound statement. I have never been a big fan of graffiti but in this case I think nearly everyone would have to give their ok for it to stay there at least a few days. Excellent blog by the way and thanks for visiting and commenting on LifeIsRisky. I have grabbed the feed and can’t wait to read more of your content I have missed.

      Yes, this is definitely graffiti with real intention behind it … and far subtler than most I think.

      This really says a lot, in a simple manner. Creativity at it’s best
