Etsy Finds from MYMY: Graffiti Art

Today's Etsy Finds were curated for you by the estimable Taryn Hipp of the MYMY crafty empire. Enjoy!

These days I’ve become overly obsessed with the idea of radical art, including various types of illegal art such as graffiti, and how it is perceived both in the mainstream media as well as in venues such as Etsy. Artists who take a public space and use it as their own canvas are regarded as vandals by some, but are highly regarded by many others. After poking around Etsy, I found over 1,000 items tagged with graffiti, from photographs to reworked furniture, jewelry and accessories. I thought I would share some of my favorites with you.


MORE-LIGHT 16inch / SOUTH3rd

I have roommates, and we don’t share the same taste. However, if I had my own place I would be rockin' this pendant lamp right above my kitchen table forever! By resurface, $350.

Grafitti art is some of the most beautiful art I have ever seen. I also like the element of surprise. Sometimes you can turn a corner and stumble into some art so beautiful it makes your eyes hurt.
