In Queens it would be 5 pointz... Its right off the LIE in Long Island city and its a large factory style building completely covered in graffiti. Nice art too that actually looks like it took effort versus the random tagging which is all over the place these days.

Visiting Times: Informally open mornings and afternoons during the week and on weekends. Occasional events on the weekend.

Cost: Free

Address: 5 Pointz, Jackson Avenue at Crane Street and Davis Street, the whole block, Long Island City, NY 11101

Wow, thats amazing! I love (most) graffiti art and wish we had more places like that.

I'm also a fan of urban artwork. But honestly, unless graffiti tags have fill-ins, they look like indecipherable shit. Take the third from last pic for example in the original post...it looks awful. I know those tags are easier and quicker to do but they're more of an eyesore than anything.

I also didn't know about the Freedom Tunnel. But I think some of the designs are pretty cool, so I made a new desktop around it:

the third images as you see quick throwies or fill ins on trains were done as an act to graf, not the fact they got up on a car but because they hopped a platform, jumped the tracks, and hit the train while it was in the station. This was huge to record and video and known when seen that's what happen. Video Graf the VHS series showed this heavily

Old thread bump...

I have a question though...how do Dart/Trap do all their throwups so high up on walls? I have a hard time seeing them carrying around a small ladder wherever they go.

either hanging from above by standing on piping/ledges/whatever or from below by using ladders/junk/whatever to stand on. the freedom tunnel is filled w/ junk so it's not hard to find things.

water damage is degrading some of the nicer murals, so if you're interested in seeing the freedom tunnel in its current state, go visit asap...

Actually the main mural was buffed in the fall. Nothing in that wallpaper I have exists anymore.
