OH FOR FOX SAKE...MORE 80'S GRAFFITI

Still up at the Kingsway flyover - mid 80's - and the Ardler United Artists with Fox On The Run.
"Scarper, it's Vixen of Dock Green!" (an old school joke!)
Thanx to Lyken.

    Ha ha, i remember this one. Im a great believer that graffiti was actually started in Scotland, way way, back. If you think about the gang signs, they way they were joined up like lf and hh and ysr etc and also does anyone ever remember seeing Glasgow gang BAR-L sprayed on walls? That was graffiti around 1972!!!!

    I think the locations of these pieces were also a hidey place for those raiding the Timex skips for bits of Sinclair products. The amount of 48+ keyboard keys lying at the back of the bridge supports!

    always remember the big "Steves Gone Mad!" that was sprayed in Red through the cuttie to the entrance of the Kieler centre (on the wall opposite the Artic Bar.)

    My mate "Cog" sprayed 2 rude cartoon cats on a wall at Craigie High School. All the pupils thought it was dead funny but because the teachers were on the hunt as to who the culprit was, we all had to keep a vow of silence. Our lips remained sealed and he never was found out! Cog passed away a few years back so it's safe to let the cat out of the bag now!!

    And at Craigie there was also the infamous "Mr Smith's a Poof" circa 1975.
