Letters from the Dark 2

In the years AV 3 - 8, on the walls of Diagon Alley, there appeared a series of wizard graffiti, all in roughly the same style, leading most who saw them to conclude that the poems and drawings were the work of a single person. At the end of that period, the graffiti stopped as abruptly as it had begun. To this day, the artist has not been identified.

The samples appear in this archive thanks to a couple professional photographers, from whom I obtained pictures. I was able to reproduce some samples, but most of the pieces are fairly complex examples of wizard graffiti, and very few of the many hundreds that, by all accounts, graced the walls of Diagon Alley during those years are actually in a state to publish. I intend to, over time, incorporate them into the archive where possible.
