Another wall on Perth Road.
These are two photos, not meant to be a Panoramic view.
Where would we draw the line between Art and Graffiti, or rather where would these two meet?

The Star Grafitti wall - 23 October 2011
The Star grafitti wall located on the Corner of Jan Smuts and Empire road, Parktown, is a free for all sponsored grafitti wall. This is a prime advertising spot since the intersection is very busy. Every now and again it gets white washed, and then fills up very quickly with new Art,Grafitti and Ads.
These are some other photos from the wall on this date:
This line: "Stroke the furry wall" is a quote from Aldous Snow in the movie Get Him To The Greek
The other line: "The Raging Whore Mones" is unkown, but similar to the punchline of the joke, What do teenage sluts have?
These are some other photos from the wall on this date:
Open Your Ears
I just love these! Someone with a message, left on a place you would never think to look, but you notice.
9th Street - Melville
This wall belongs to a residence on 9th street in Melville. I'm led to believe it may be an art school or similar. (I will update this, if I get any more information on it).

Barry Hertzog - Melville (part 2)
This is from the same location on Barry Hertzog road. I split the photos into 2 posts because there are so many, and I didn't capture everything.

10 September 2011 – Malibongwe
6:30 am, the sun is still a bright orange ball low on the horizon. I went for a drive while the roads were quiet to a wall on Malibongwe drive, Randburg, that I knew was always brightly coloured and well painted. Almost every wall on the length of this main road is scattered with tags and markings. I wish I could stop for every one. Soon enough I’ll try to capture as many as I can, but for now its the murals which excite me more. On my route back I found many more locations with grafitti, my eyes dart around everywhere I go now. Finding a place to stop the car, not mid-street, is a small problem.

4th September (part3) - Main Reef
These are a little more on the grafitti end of the grafitti-meets-art spectrum, but I feel that they need to be included.
When I saw this scrawling under a bridge on Main Reef Road, I had a laugh. I guess if thats your best talent, then its best kept under bridges.

4th September (part2) Joe Slovo
This group of photos were taken on a wall on Joe Slovo drive. Some of the walls are in bad condition and the paint is cracked or faded, so I assume that they have been there for quite some time.
I'm not 100% sure of the artists, In time I'll learn to read and recognise the grafitti styles.
