There was never any graffiti on the wall, not until all the ground floor windows were bricked over creating a continuous 'canvas '
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ. 1) The city needs to enforce laws against the rampant graffiti more aggressively; 2) they need to stop painting over this wall if they aren't doing something permanent; and 3) they should commission actual art to cover this wall which cause the graffiti painting assholes to go elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteWTF does the city address? Certainly not quality of life, transport, traffic, or housing issues.
Perhaps the building owners should just make it an official graffiti wall, commission some decent artists and keep hacks like whoever does this tag away.
ReplyDeleteAnon 9:16 I agree completely!
ReplyDeleteVZ could so easily turn this into a PR win, rather than depressing us all with this endless brown campaign.
And, who knows, maybe a good graffiti wall too...
Verizon could paint that wall with slippery paint, off of which spry paint will slip off.
ReplyDeleteHilarious that people think that if you put up a nice graffiti mural, it won't get the shit tagged out of it.
ReplyDeleteGraffiti is art and improves this neighborhood and that wall more than Verizon-commissioned art could ever hope to.
ReplyDeleteWe already had the technology...

Mazeltov!
I have seen ads that utilize/exploit graffiti on the bowery and Soho for stupid TV shows and cellphones. I'm surprised Verizon don't advertise their service on the walls themselves.
