I was visiting a friend in Queens today and she took me to the see this huge building completely covered in graffiti. It is an amazing sight, a block covered from head-to-toe in graffiti art work. There are some interesting and brilliant pieces on the building, I really liked some of the bigger murals and comic-book work.
When I got home I did a bit of Internet research and found out that '5 Pointz' is an aerosol art centre that uses a 200,000 square-foot factory building as it's canvas. '5 Pointz' is so-called as it represents the 5 boroughs of NYC coming together as one, however people from all over the world have come to contribute to the "graffiti mecca".

The graffiti centre is located on Davis Street, Long Island City and is easy to get to using the E, 7, M or G trains. It is definitely worth checking out! For more information visit
