Oh well, at least I think it's the creativity that counts! I think this idea is awesome...

Some people are just jealous that they didn't think of this before Moose that's all. /shrugs.

Great job!

If you need to eat, steal. Don't sell your soul to a corporation.

And least of all, your art. God. I'd sooner rob a grocery store blind than advertise for them.

sorry if this offends you...

fighting online about something as ridiculous as this is pointless, but i must say this is a very intriguing form of "art" and it may be a change for the better...

will you all stop bitching about laws and whether or not this is technically vandalism, what the sentence would be for a crime like this, how many toothbrushes it would take to restore the building to its original state; Think about the big picture! This type of medium allows for people to really look at the damage that they inflict on their planet in a really creative way. forget about moose and his comercial agenda, this is a great IDEA that should be utilized to send a really positive message. So what, the city will have to clean a wall, how horrible. im doing this shit all up and down my street, the right way.

How about some much needed 9/11 truth graffiti???

On September 11, 2001 four off-course & out-of-contact airliners flew all over the Eastern U.S. for hours without being intercepted, challenged, pursued, nor even continuously observed by our trillion-dollar intelligence/defense systems! One such airliner allegedly slammed through the Pentagon long after the first jet had crashed into the World Trade Center. The Bush regime told us Osama bin-Forgotten (hiding in an Afghani cave) & his 19 lackeys with box-cutters accomplished all this in defeating us. Case closed--or is it???

Many believe that Bush/Cheney allowed 9/11 to occur on purpose!!!

I dont think there is one definition for an artist it can be a painter, a graphic designer, a cartoonist, many different forms of art and indeed artists.

>>You can't be an artist of much integrity and make
>>a living out it, if you can then you are making
>>entertainment, not art.

>If an artist makes money, he is not an artist.

Really? So Michaelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel for free? Or are you saying he wasn't an artist? Are you saying that you are unaware that Rodan was commissioned for most of his work? Did Van Gogh paint in his spare time and flip burgers at McDonalds to pay the rent?

Get real - if artistry didn't pay, there would be far fewer artists in our history and in our midst.

That said - yeah, this is vandalism. But it is certainly creative.

Reverse graffiti is inmy opinion a great idea and I would like to challenge the purest world of graffiti or street art to meet the commercial world of advertising in the middle to form a whole new form of media. Some of the best communications I have seen have not been done by the advertising industry but by street artist. Why can't the often poor and under funded but highly creative world of street art earn from the over funded and often barley creative world of advertising/marketing?
If I were to go back and clean the message off of the surface (we only do this on the ground as we are also trying to meet the concerns of an over exposed public) would it then be better as the biggest concerns seems to be cleanup at this point. If we donate a portion of the proceeds we make from such a commercial project (which we do) to a local community organization would that help prove we are sincere and involved on a local level? What can we as a company who sees this form of communication as perhaps the only truly sustainable form (we only use pure water no chemicals) of media do to satisfy the public and those with valid concerns about "big bad advertising beating us to death with yet more messages? The amount of discussion only proves that this is an effective form of advertising. When was the last time you saw a discussion about a billboard?
I would welcome any constructive dialog on this subject. It's about a new form of media that communicates on a local level in the spirit of street art. Good/ Bad? Thoughts?

Sorry if this has already been posted, I havn't read all the comments but check out Alexandre Orion. He's a graffiti artist from Brazil. He did a piece called Ossario where he cleaned skulls onto a tunnel wall.

I love graffiti, I think it's a great art form, and then to do it *cleanly* I think is amazing! Leave him to it.

ok so i see a big gray PUBLIC (as in taxpayers property) cement wall and i paint a replic of the mona lisa there
would you still call me a low life bastard vandal
or an thousand euros/dollar sallary artist ?

if i see a roten group of people what better way to tell them they're wrong and stupid than to paint something in a wall they will all see regularly or until they are forced to spend some efort cleaning it without being hanged or burned or killed or whatever by their natural anger at me.

if i call you stupid you get mad at me,face it its mathematical so i rather do it anonimously to a big crowd.

that is how graffiti is born.

And “Go Gently” are SUCH dirty words!

It’s amazing how people get their panties in a bunch here over such a trivial matter. But since material items today are the core of our very existence…

at least we're up to items today. we live in a world that bases the value of life on a gold standard.
thats right. food, shelter, water if you cant get it, give me the equivalent of a big shiny rock and ill give you some.

until you become fully self sufficient, quit whining about "materialism" like its a new thing.

Now that is truly an urban and hip hop ideal. To take the grime of Urbanity, and create a new art out of it. Officials should be baffled, and should look again at their cities and think, "my god, look what we have done".

He does great work, but I tell my kids only write on paper or products made for writing. He should put his works on walls that give him advance authorization.

Hi, yes, I'm here to apply for a permit to wash away dirt from public property. I'd like to do it specifically with the intention of spreading kind messages and improving weary citizens quality of life.

It wont affect the property or harm anyone in anyway. It's environmentally friendly too.

What? There is no such permit? And you say if I do this I should be prosecuted???

I should what? Get a nice white collar job like the rest of you?

But.... you don't look happy.

Still Graffiti, Still defacing a wall, Should be punished, Shouldnt be that dirty to start with, Not his job or right to mess with council property as he doesnt own it. Tricky case but basically he is defacing an area thats not his to deface.

Get a permit and do it under regulations, like a percentage of money goes to the council/whoever who have to agree to it first, then clean it off after a set period of time and use the rest to fund other clean-up operations... THEN its legal and beneficial to everyone.
