Oh, Phil, you’re cool with the diapers out the window? You just made my life SO much easier. What a great neighbor.

Adam (not Beaugh) – Steve’s side would have to state: Beware of Kangaroo.

Rampant – a tea cup poodle holding a 12-inch blade with severed testicles impaled upon the point would send shivers down my spine.

You could do whatever with the concept…doesn’t really require a rendering of an actual dog. 3D lettering with teeth would look cool. Go down the alley between Laura and Silver/5th & 6th and look for the hunter green fence and let me know what you think…You’ll know you have arrived when you start to trip over condoms and dirty diapers.

Sure wish I had known about the whole throw-the-diaper-out-the-window concept. Would have saved me some money on that Diaper Genie.

Phil, Hell yeah, a beware of dogs sign would be awesome, especially if it stretched to our side, too. Then someone would read that just as Steve almost clears that 9 foot fence. People would think we had some crazy/killer dogs back there.

The run off does have to be controlled or it can get out of hand (behind 5pts, as per example).

I would love to find another legal spot to paint, especially since getting into more of the more modern 3d lettering (Neck,Daim) styles. Unfortunately not knowing many building owners much less suitable buildings has left me in retirement with the rare canvas.

Even though I never painted at your building, thank you for hosting the artform.

nice. my partner paul and I hosted a legal wall on 10th st between liberty and walnut that had some unbelievable work. i will have to search for pics. we’d come back and it would be different, sometimes bi-weekly. but then they started to paint the bricks and slowly started to really get sloppy and not worth it. then paul sold the building. the end.

Some of my old stuff is on this site, contact info is wrong (this is just a cache of my old site). Go under graffiti (obviously)

@ rampant
Its in a record jacket somewhere, I will find it, it was a zine by zies and the rules (it might have been comandments or something else) were definitely cut from another source. And I’m probably paraphrasing and might even have thrown in a rule that I really want, but I’ll find it and set the record straight. I know how to get in touch with the guy who made it anyway. I will post it.

I have some retired throwie friends as well though I never dabbled, save the trestle
where I grew up.

I like the above stencils, and I even appreciated Euler’s theory (another BG job), but it seems like that if its going to take no time or though or art or meaning, except for destruction for the sake of a brand it should be regulated to neglected property. MO

No monetary loss actually until I fix it which I have yet to do.

Tony-
I know, you guys have that awesome wall mural outside, and then he puts up what looks like an 8th grade girl’s yearbook signing. LAME.
