Jen – It’s definitely much more difficult to do subtle well and most people need to have something hit them in the face in order for it to make an impact. I’m so thankful when something like this piece gets to exist to make a quiet statement.

Siobhan – Thanks so much for the link! That video is fantastic. Reverse graffiti is so damn clever, I can hardly stand it.

Really nice. I love the quiet colour scheme.

It reminds me a little of this “reverse” grafitti: http://www.woostercollective.com/2008/06/mooses_reverse_graffiti.html

i’m so with you karyn – you know what a colour and pattern whore i am, but there is something so serene and natural and contemplative about this. it’s almost quietly subversive to do an underpass mural in white and grey – it totally breaks the rules of what public art “should” look like. thanks for sharing it.

Melinda – I agree. I love the mystery of Banksy and you’re so right – superhero is the perfect word to describe him.
That’s exactly the bridge, by the Value Village. Take a peek the next time you’re up there thrifting.

I’d like to think that they’ll never really know who Banksy is. He’s sort of like a superhero like that.
I’ll have to go see that bridge for myself. It looks really pretty. (Is this the bridge between Value Village and Symington?)
Have a great day off in the sunshine!
