Graffiti, art or advertising

When I walked around NYC I was often getting shots of the various art and Graffiti in the city, driving around our new home city of New Bedford, and I have seen quite a bit of art and graffiti around the city, mus of it from the car while driving around, but I have managed to stop and catch a coupleof the pieces for a post, on the next quiet day we have when the weather is nice we plan to do a walk around downtown where I have spotted some cool art, but for now let me show you a couple of pieces I have got shots of.

the first one makes quite a statement of the current times and will let the first photo talk for itself.

This is on Acushnet Ave on the sid of a building and I wonder if the art was there and the mask has been added recently or was the piece painted with the mask on, I guess I will never know but either way it is a cool piece

Another closer in shot, this time in color unlike the first mono shot, now I think with COVID and the need to wear masks when out in public and the fact the mask is on an image of Jesus makes a powerful statement, I am sure the stress of the Virus and the changes that it invokes has tested many peoples faith in one way or another.

Now this is where i get to the advertising part of the post, but again it is art sort of advertising and I thought worth adding to the end of this post for something a little different
