Here is a graffiti project I've been working on. It's my first attempt, so, errr...yeah. It started out saying smack - a word I picked because I was looking at a lobster smack model boat. So, there's a lobster claw in there.
That graffiti is awesome. And I found the lobster claw

Thought you might enjoy seeing these - I certainly did when they flowered! 
Dendrobium Compacta var. "White Pink Kiss"
Oncidium var. "Sugar Sweet"
Oncidium sp (var. unknown)
Phalenopsis var. "Sharon Bay" 2009, 2 spikes
Phalenopsis var. "Sharon Bay" 2011, 1 spike with bigger flowers (3").
Also a better white and deeper colouring on the central parts - but no veining, dammit!
All taken with my Nikon D3 plus Nikon 62mm macro lens.
Some taken with natural light , others using a ring light.

Thank you, Kiran!!
I've never done graffiti before and this was done mostly in photoshop. When people see it I get some mixed reactions, like disapproval. I might have to put a caption on it "no brick walls were harmed in the making of this piece".
Cornflake, your pics are really beautiful!
Syrella, I especially like the painting of the girl with her eyes closed.
Edit:
Oh yeah! I wanted to post a typography project I did a while back.
It's my favorite Shakespeare quote.

Thanks!
I loved your typography, and the quote. It's one of my favourites too.
I used to play about with typography and after seeing this, I think I'll play with it some more.

Please share more!
I´ll definitely share more. I am working on two drawings right now.
You have such a lovely style. I like how all of your pictures have a "rough" feel, not overly-polished. You seem to concentrate on disturbing perspectives. None of your pictures have a static feel, they all seem to be in motion.

Chimpy doodles!
This one took FOREVER to get right, and even now it's still all wrong. I think I did 4 attempts before this final one:
Just a quick scribbly one:

This is just beautiful, really beautiful.
