Reverse Graffiti
Reverse Graffiti
We like talking about street art and graffiti because we think they are great methods of communication in public space, and street artists are the ones that continue to push the boundaries of these methods. (wow, don't I sound boring) Anyway, this is one of those artists who brings it up a notch:
"Moose" makes his graffiti by cleaning off dirt from public surfaces. Now the cops don't know what to make of it. Brilliant, no?
Moose, whose real name is Paul Curtis, tells NPR's Steve Inskeep that he got the idea when he saw that people had written their names with their fingers on dirty tunnel walls in his hometown of Leeds. Moose does some freehand drawing, but also uses the grid from wall tiles to create perfect shapes and letters.The tools are simple: A shoe brush, water and elbow grease, he says.
British authorities aren't sure what to make of the artist who is creating graffiti by cleaning the grime of urban life. The Leeds City Council has been considering what to do with Moose. "I'm waiting for the kind of Monty Python court case where exhibit A is a pot of cleaning fluid and exhibit B is a pair of my old socks," he jokes.

Thats crazy. Where I live when a new building goes up thats easy to tag some one always puts giant like sticker letters up then wait for the wall to get covered in graffiti and take the giant sticker thing off and it leaves a giant letter or word thats like white or whatever the color the wall is and it has like graffiti all around it. Hard to explain.
