Reverse Graffiti Project

This is so awesome! Using Green Works plant based cleaners, artist Moose transforms San Francisco’s Broadway tunnel into a mural depicting what the area might have looked like before man’s influence. Instead of using spray paint or ink mops, Moose uses cleaners to cut through the dirt revealing the bright clean wall underneath. The walls are so dirty that it looks like he’s painting with white paint.

Can you imagine graffiti artists bombing walls with cleaner instead of paint? What do the cops do? Sorry son, you can’t… uh… clean… our walls… oh.

Brilliant way to subvert graffiti. You know, we should try this as part of art war. Baltimore has some fairly dirty walls that could use a good artsy scrubbing.

    I think this is the oldest posting of the neat reverse graffiti video from Sao Paolo

    one of my biggest annoyances is trying to find the original copy when a video on youtube is reposted multiple times. makes it difficult to find and give credit to the original artist.
