Fins

I'm a sucker for tag art. Graffiti is scattered throughout the old hotel. Most was the usual "Steve loves Joni", "Beer Rules", "I R High" -typed things you expect to hear from the future leaders of our nation.

 

This caught my eye. Boy, swimming, with the shark fin.

The style of the boy seemed very much like a Banksy to me. There was also a slightly unstylized "Count your Money" message just to the right of this piece, which maybe is clever considering a hotel that is now out of business but possibly not considerate of the circumstances.

 

As I went in closer to take the 3 exposure series for this HDR, the inner room caught my eye with another, far more elaborate Baksy - Esque tag with a credit to it's real creator.
