17 Graffiti walls spotted in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor

Salam and happy Eidul Adha to all Muslim.

Its been awhile since the last post because I’ve been busy with work and some freelance job (view portfolio to see my latest work). For your information, this entry is the hardest compilation I’ve ever done. I have a deep interest in graffiti artworks. I’ve been taking pictures every time I came across any graffiti walls since 2006.

I can see that 2009 is the rise of graffiti in Kuala Lumpur. In this entry, I tried to get all the creative, unique and beautiful ‘bombs’ instead of ‘tags’ which can be seen entire the city. I prefer ‘bomb’ because it is big, colourful and vibrant. These graffitis are here to stay and perhaps, grow longer and bolder. (Unless the authority will repaint the entire wall). Let’s check it out!

1. Shell Wangsa Maju

Google Map of graffiti locations

So, here is the Google Map. I’ve plotted these location and maybe I’ll try to add them in the future. I’m feeling like playing GTA3 game, where I have to locate and spray the tags on the wall. Click on the map to view Google Map version.

    1. Tapi memang susah nak dapat kebenaran dari pihak berkuasa. Kena harapkan pihak2 tertentu buat aktiviti / program grafiti, baru la dibenarkan.

    2. helo bro. kat entri ni, saya ada senaraikan grafiti yang dibenarkan seperti kat Balai Seni Lukis dan kompleks rakan muda. Cuma masyarakat di luar sana memerlukan masa untuk menerima budaya luar ni.

      Saya tau saya cuma boleh menulis, tapi saya memang tabik spring dengan artis grafiti, sebab saya sendiri tak mampu nak hasilkan karya macam korang buat, cuma mampu lihat dari jauh saje,
