What should we call this? Hitchitti?Blogger, musician and street art aficionado Meowma discovered this very cool graffito in Hollywood's Melrose District. Nice work. Given Hitch's preference for black suits as a sign of his alignment with the rather sinister Lew Wasserman (the sartorial choice being the old boy network's version of a gang sign), it isn't hard to imagine that the director saw himself in a somewhat gangsterly light. At least that's how I, and apparently this anonymous street artist may envision the Master of the Macabre. Print this post

Hahaha, I LOVE it!
Hitchcock graffiti seems to be fairly common -- there's a collection of CC licensed images from Flickr here:

I think my favourite is this one of Hitch advertising a "nude coloured clothing party" :-D

A pity he never made one if his cameo appearances in graffiti form -- the closest being the neon sign in ROPE and the slimming ad in LIFEBOAT.

Hitch is one of my favorites.
I recently started my own Hitchcock blog, certainly not as extensive as yours. Here's the link.
