We hate to make it three graffiti posts in a row, but it just had to be done. We’ve been wanting to plug the new Girafa pool on Flickr, and the Milpitas Police Department has just provided ample reason. The San Jose Mercury News reports that, according to the fuzz, a recent spate of Girafa bombings in Milpitas is surely “gang related.” Bummer!
Clueless law enforcement aside, what up with Girafa anyway? Lovable new kid on the block, or heavy-handed Ribity wannabe?
(Via All Romanian Crews)
man it aint gang related,this guy is sum white boy
yea hes white i met him the cops are stupid and they want you to believe their lies and yea he gots talent and gets up a lot
omg. i see these giraffe things everywhere in the bay. its my dream to meet this guy, i love giraffes lol!!!
Have been following Girafa’s work for a while now. Great stuff, I can see the refined work on gallery walls one day. Talk the folks at Anno Domini. Best obscure spots to see the work: Old CCC business park on Carabbien & Lawrence in Santa Clara. Under 280 bridge that crosses Los Gatos creek, off the creek trail. Trials Pub mens room, First & Devine.
Tall, White, Artist…Hence the name and picture of a Giraffe…DUH! it aint rocket science and he dam well aint no GANG BANGER…thats for sure…HE just another brother addicted to graffin, better than drugs.

I’m not into scribble, but I Can tell an Artist. This guy is a tru artist and I love seeing his Art pop up in the most random spots. Today I just saw a giraffe on a billboard above the Natasha’s costume shop on Bascom. You can also spot his work if you ride cal train. It’s like where’s waldo but with a giraffe.
aint no ribity biter and definitely no gang-banger.
straight up white boy, met him myself. 100% aerosol artist
these pigs are stupid…
okay…. REALLY listen, most “white boys” are writers these days..
and it doesnt matter what color you are, you can bang and still be white.
However, he is too nice, I used to talk to him alot… He is mad original too.
Girafa isn’t a Ribbity biter. You have tones of people doing characters from Jaber heads, ribbitys, umbrella, birds, horses, snails ect.
Gang related … I would say not, but graffiti is considered gang related to authorities.
Hope to seem more of them Long Neck Monsters!
