This “minimal” graffiti puts more focus on the words than the art itself, bringing more power to the meaning.
Less is more?

Hi Eric,
Thank you for posting these; it is very interesting.
I am particularly keen on the “THE LARGER I MAKE THIS THE LESS THE CONTENT MATTERS” which reminded me of some reflections I had back in 1998/1999 on the relationship between the message and it support on effective communication. My idea was that the most unlikely the support the more effective the message, which is making a similar point.
The second one to hit a chord is “STOP READ THIS CARRY ON” which again reminded me of reflection I had around the same time on our inability to not read what surrounds us.
Are the graffitis your work or are you documenting someone else’s activity in you neighborhood?
I came across your post by doing a search on Minimal Graffiti after posting on something I have just began doing recently. (http://generalimprovement.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/new-idea-alert-minimal-graffiti.html). A lot of these ideas have been dormant for many years, and I have just began exploring them again. It was a nice surprise to see that other people follow similar trains of thoughts.
Ideas are the air.
