Look, Line and Fun

We had a wonderful trip to Boston a couple of weeks ago. One alley combined all that I look for when I hit a city. What is NEW in that area's art? What can I learn from this art? How do they use line--my latest passion? 

This graffiti was a small part of a long alley full of great images. While I have rearranged many of the elements, some of them are developed from my studying the rest of the alley. The black lines, done with those large magic markers, they pull together a very disparate painting.
