This distinctive electric purple stencil was noticed on a wall in Middletown by Illicit Exhibitions, a blog about street art, two weekends ago:
A giraffe skeleton? A horse? At any rate it's probably no longer up, since the city's police chief is pretty scrupulous about painting over graffiti.
What does it mean, and who's the street artist behind it? Speculate here, or email illicitexhibitions@gmail if you've got information.
Since the recent Gay Soldiers: A Fetish Gone Too Far stencils seen around campus have provoked the wrath of Maria Cruz-Saco, how about a new kind of graffiti? Like...cleaning the grime off of shit?
NPR says:
A British street artist known as Moose creates graffiti by cleaning dirt from sidewalks and tunnels -- sometimes for money when the images are used as advertising. But some authorities call it vandalism.Boo, authorities. Granted, Wes doesn't have that many places with that much caked-on crap, but I'd imagine that the technique could be utilized to interesting results in frat bathrooms.
