I said a week or two back that I would try to feature Bags from the No Frills crew more often, and true to my word, here is another piece by the graffiti writer. I am writing this post yesterday, because at the time of publishing, I will be somewhere in the air between Bristol and Madeira.
As with the last piece I featured by Bags, He has separated the BA and GS of his letters with different colour regimes, a device that sems to work rather well for him. The solid fills are decorated minimally by some reversed out circles and a white star. Bags has added a little extra interest with some red zigzags that look like they have come from an oscilloscope (does that age me?). Addressing underrepresentation one day at a time.
Please excuse the next week of posts, they are likely to be a little haphazard while I am on holiday.

Gunlaw or gun laws
America must decide
one or the other
.
by Scooj
- Gunlaw (or gun law) is not a widely standardized term, but it can be interpreted in different contexts.
- In the Old West or “Wild West” sense, the phrase can suggest a situation where: Law and order are dictated not by courts or formal justice, but by who has the most firepower.
- Violence or threat of violence determines authority — i.e., might makes right.

In memory of my mother-in-law who died peacefully yesterday. We were lucky enough to celebrate her 95th birthday with her a couple of weeks ago. We will miss her.
