This double gift was sprayed on a friend’s garage, on the house next door, and on the house across the street. Two guys, probably, declaiming their territory, like dogs. Real subtle. My friend called and told the landlady (90 years old and ill) the problem, but she hasn’t yet provided the paint (again) to cover this new artwork. Not exactly little-old-lady content, anyway.
My students are totally influenced by graffiti. And I can appreciate good street art. But really, this is so rude.

Here is a site with an interview with Shepard Fairey about graffitti, art and private public spaces to do work.
