ObsidianRune & Kisska
Kisska
You ever think about how a fresh spray on a brick is just a modern echo of those old cave paintings? It feels like a secret language that keeps evolving—what do you think, got any cool ancient symbols that have slipped into street art lately?
ObsidianRune
Yeah, I’ve noticed a few. Some walls have the Eye of Horus or an Ankh, probably to hint at protection or rebirth. Others use a stylised Chinese character like “風” for wind, or a runic “ᚠ” that could mean “fairy” or “wood.” Even some murals use a simple Aztec glyph of the sun—just a circle with rays. It’s like the street keeps borrowing from the past to create a new, coded language that only a few really read.

That’s pretty cool. The Eye of Horus on a wall? That’s like a hidden power move. I love how the city keeps whispering those old vibes while we paint new ones. Got any favorite symbols that make you pause and think?
ObsidianRune
I pause most often at the ancient cuneiform signs that appear in subway art—those little wedge‑shaped symbols that once recorded trade. They’re just tiny scratches now, but when I see them in neon, it feels like the city is reminding us that every new message is built on an old one. It makes me wonder what future graffiti will say about us.
Kisska
Those wedge‑shapes in neon? Classic city remix. Like the subway is a time capsule with a spray‑can twist. I wonder if the future walls will be written in emoji or just more invisible ink for the bold. What’s your guess?
ObsidianRune
I think the next wave will be invisible—maybe UV paint or sound‑based graffiti that you can only hear with a mic. Emojis will feel too commercial, but a few bold ones might surface as shorthand. The real mystery will be in the layers people won’t see until the city changes light or temperature. That’s where the real secret lives.
Kisska
You’re onto something wild—imagine walking past a wall and it’s a blank until a UV light flicks on, or you hear a hiss that only a mic can catch. It’d be like the city keeps its own secret club. I’ve been itching to try UV paint myself, but I’d rather not let anyone see my test run. What would you drop if you could hide it in plain sight?
ObsidianRune
I’d tuck the ancient rune for “light”—a small circle with a vertical line—into a brick, paint it with UV paint, and then watch it vanish in daylight. Anyone with a black‑light would read the hidden pulse, while the rest of the city would see just a mundane pattern.
Kisska
That’s dope—like a secret handshake for the street. I’d love to see that flicker in the night, the city’s hidden glow only for the curious. Keep it on your list, maybe one day I’ll sneak a black‑light into a midnight walk.
