Graffiti in Sanlitun Village in Beijing I: A wall of color and sound

Wielding an arsenal of spray cans, paint tubes, and brushes, a crack group of graffiti artists invaded Sanlitun Village on Saturday afternoon and unleashed an explosion of color. Here are photos I took of a mural of a dozen records (given the subject, I’ll dedicate this post to vinyl lover DJ Chunky). I took the photos  around 6 PM, but when I went back after midnight, this and another three murals had been dismantled. Maybe management didn’t want people putting graffiti all over them…

Note: Here are nine photos of the other murals.
