This one is my favorite.  I love how the grey parts of the work are the actual wall, no paint involved:

Logan Graffiti 1

I also enjoyed this, an intricate piece featuring . . . apartments?  Offices?  Either way, a very nice city scene:

Logan Graffiti 2

See the rest, after the jump.

Another one in the back.  I like the “51″ stars, which I assume relate to DC statehood:

Logan Graffiti 3

The most visible (and not so new) work in the alley is a piece by Shepard Fairey, the artist behind the famed Obama poster, added in October 2008:

  Shepard Fairy's "Duality of Humanity"

Check it out!
