juju, if you watch the video again, you’ll notice that I only painted over gang graffiti and talk about the differences between gang graffiti and artistic graffiti.

It’s great to hear that graffiti has helped you express yourself. However, it’s still considered vandalism by most, including people who could arrest you for expressing yourself in that way, so be careful.

And do your part to help deal with gang graffiti if you can. Assuming you one day get arrested for doing artistic graffiti, you could explain the difference to the judge and what you’ve done to eradicate gang graffiti in your neighborhood. I’m sure many judges would respond kindly to that.

you people are idiots
graffiti is an art, your taking that wall and making it uglier with that crap paint,yes taking turf war graffiti out is a good thing but if its not a gangtag and if its on an old broken down building just let it stay the bombers are just expressing themselves and letting things off there back and staying away from bad things like drugs and alchohaul.
graffiti for me is getting away from all the bad kids and demons in life..

This story on Minn Post has just made me “come out” as a volunteer graffiti abater. I can’t even come near to competing at your level, Ed, but I do my little bit and I’ll be saying something about that on my blog shortly. Keep up the great work. I hope others are inspired to follow your example.

Awesome work Ed.

My whole garage is covered in invisible graffiti, could you come over and paint over it? it’s on thick, so you might need to scrape first.
