The Reverse-Graffiti Artist

Graffiti Artist Moose is baffling authorities as they try to figure out if selective cleaning is a crime?

"The tools are simple: A shoe brush, water and elbow grease," he says.

"British authorities aren’t sure what to make of the artist who is creating graffiti by cleaning the grime of urban life. The Leeds City Council has been considering what to do with Moose. "I’m waiting for the kind of Monty Python court case where exhibit A is a pot of cleaning fluid and exhibit B is a pair of my old socks," he jokes.

Are you as concerned about the world's diminishing Net freedoms as we are?

 Google, Yahoo, Microsoft are all now supporting censorship of the Net in China and elsewhere. And now the big telecom companies are trying to push through hefty tarrifs on bandwidth. At least we can take to the streets and communicate with graffiti art once they take our Net freedoms away. Free Expression Forever!

Boys vs Girls Graffiti

The Bathroom Graffiti Project has been asked several times whether there is a difference between the graffiti in men's restrooms vs. women's restrooms. From what we've noticed the major difference is there usually seems to be more graffiti in the men's rooms. But when you find a good women's restroom with lots of graffiti, it's every bit as creative, witty, profane and gritty as the dirty scrawls on the wall from the men's room. Now that we're paying attention to this question, we'd love to hear what you think? And better yet, we'd love to have some different examples submitted to the Bathroom Graffiti Proejct so we can let people analyze this matter for themselves. Submit pics at www.graffitiproject.com.

Could Graffiti Cause A Riot?

 
Send in your religious and political graffiti...looking for anything that might be controversial, interesting, spiritual, witty, whatever. If cartoons can cause riots all over the country, just curious about the impact of bathroom graffiti when religion is involved. Submit your images at www.graffitiproject.com. 

Yes! Have You?

 
But now I'm feeling pretty good. How about you?

Amazing Year For Bathroom Graffiti

Thanks to all of the help from our loyal readers, the BGP Sniper Team, and all of you who continue to submit pictures, the Bathroom Graffiti Project had a great year in 2005. If you’ve been to our site before then you know we’re all about promoting freedom of expression, street art, and creative thought. If this is your first time, here’s our manifesto: http://www.graffitiproject.com/manifesto.php.

Even though, we’re just beginning our mission to collect and document the world’s best bathroom graffiti, the graffiti writers and artists of the world are beginning to unite! With your help we have already been able to collect over 330 images from around the world.

We’re a long ways of from our goal of at least one image from every country in the world, but give us a couple years. This collaborative arts project is taking off. Already the archives have images from all over the United States, Canada, France, Australia, China, Brazil, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany.

You can help out by taking pictures of bathroom graffiti, telling your friends about the project and linking to our site.
