Caught this post on the blog Cracked Window called Art from Filth. It is a video about a reverse graffiti artist named Moose, filmed by a great documentary film maker named Doug Pray. [a side note, Pray's newest release Surfwise looks fascinating]. I, like the author of Cracked Window, would love to see this take off in Portland. There are a ton of talented artists here, and plenty of social resistance, so I am betting it will start happening soon.
Here's the first video, featuring Moose:
Here's another video of reverse Graffiti in Paris, also with an arty take and cool music:
addendum: Through this post on inhabitat, I found out more information on the second video. Apparently this is an artist known as The Brazilian, and he's working in San Paolo. The authorities couldn't charge him with anything, so began cleaning up the tunnel. He just continued working on the other side of the traffic, which prompted them to clean that side of the tunnel -- and then every tunnel in the city.
Enjoy completely new forms of art provided for us by observant iconoclasts,
