Update: My original post appears below, but I compiled a slideshow of local graffiti, including the "Christopher Blok Memorial Mural" that MzFitz mentions in the comments. If you have any photos you’d like to contribute, you can e-mail them to feedback@c-ville.com. Enjoy!

I feel like I have a fairly common outlook on local graffiti—an appreciation for the playfulness in design and location, questions about whether certain pieces tie to our city in any particular way, and complete befuddlement over who the artists are. (Keep in mind, not all graffiti tends to attract love.) The best way for a person with similar questions to find an answer or two is to dig up as much info on local street art as possible.
So, lend me a hand: What is your favorite piece of local graffiti? Where can it be seen? Let’s compile a list so that readers can take in the art that defines our city’s surfaces.
