# Befitting Fantasy Meme Graffiti This Lord of the Rings Street Art is Truly Spot On By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-02-11 | Updated 2013-02-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lord-of-the-rings-street-art References: [nerdapproved](http://nerdapproved.com/misc-weirdness/you-shall-not-pass/) & [facebook](http://www.facebook.com/TheOneRingnet) This wonderful piece of Lord of the Rings street art found on TheOneRing.net’s [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebook-verified) page is spot on. The wording is taken from the [legendary Gandalf quote](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-one-ring-rinse) from The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The quote was originally used as a deterrent for an intimidating beast trying to cross a bridge to attack the group of protagonists from the movie. Since then, the quote has become an instant one-liner and meme among fans. Proper use of this line on this road block placed in front of a bridge creates brilliant humor and relevance, especially because it is placed on a bridge. The Lord of the Rings street art itself is actually quite impressive. The artist definitely captured the font of the franchise and the foliage decorations really give it artistic flair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Fantasy Meme Graffiti:** Opportunity for artists to create street art based on popular fantasy memes and quotes. - **Franchise Font Art:** Opportunity for artists to create font art based on popular franchises like the Lord of the Rings. - **Bridge-blocking Humor:** Opportunity for marketers to use bridge-blocking humor as a way to create memorable brand experiences. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art:** Artists can explore opportunities in creating street art based on popular franchises and memes. - **Entertainment:** Franchises like Lord of the Rings can leverage fan engagement and viral promotion through creative campaigns. - **Marketing:** Marketers can use humor and relevant placements of messages to create memorable brand experiences, especially through street art promotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Fantasy Series Building Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-shire-set.md) - [Intricate Magical Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rivendell-set.md) - [Fantasy-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lord-of-the-rings-lego-set.md) - [Filmic Virtual Fitness Challenges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-fitness-challenge.md) - [Epic Fantasy Mechanical Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ringwraith-keyboard.md) - [British Author-Honoring UK Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jrr-tolkien.md) - [Cartoonish City Bollards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-cyklop.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Fantasy World-Inspired Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heroes-of-middle-earth.md)
