@jon my life improved when I started appreciating good graffiti, it's just one less thing to be annoyed about. This is really nice work - imagine producing those sharp edges, gradients and textures with a spraycan. If it's not racist or offensive slogans, why does it matter? It's way more creative and human than an advertising wrap.
@jroper @jon I wouldn’t mind so much if they’d be more careful about the positioning and not spray over the windows.
