I was coming out of Fort Worth (downtown) on I-30 East a few days ago and noticed some graffiti off to the right, but I have no idea what exit to take to get to it. It can be seen roughly around I-30E and I-35, I believe.

Deep Ellum has tons if you are willing to make the drive. I am sure there are tons in FW too - hopefully someone will chime in for you over there.

I was going to suggest Deep Ellum in Downtown Dallas... Probably your best bet in the Dallas area!!!

Thanks for the input, I know some in Dallas area, I was just trying to find something closer to the client. I was thinking there had to be some good walls in Ft Worth just cant find them.

Kerby, there are a couple of buildings with graffiti just east of downtown on East Lancaster.. right across from the Union Mission. Not sure if that is a help to you.

Some of the bridges that the TRE go through are pretty covered. Not sure specifics as I don't know that area. Just know it is covered pretty well.

You might try going to Flickr and typing "Graffiti Deep Ellum" That's what I did. Many of the photographers geo locate their pictures and you can narrow it down to an intersection. There are a lot of wall murals in Deep Ellum as opposed to graffiti. You may try the same Flickr search for FW. Just look at the picture and on the lower right it will have if there's a map or not. Good luck.

I have shot with a couple of walls in Deep Ellum. Great choices down there, worth the trip! I am not sure how to post some samples, however, I posted some of them in my gallery.

Hope that helps. :)
