Speeding Tag

Ah those fabulous days we used to spend in Paris. The mural of Keith Haring, mentioned in my previous blog, was a nice surprise. The graffiti painted in unexpected places no less than a surprise.

Several artists have found their challenge in painting their Tag upon high buildings. Crawling upon the rooftops may have added another kind of adrenalin kick. The risk of being caught by the police seems to be far less compared to their colleagues working 'down town'. That is...I've seen a few Tags upon vans which surprised me. Not that they bewitched me by their beauty. Common letters spray-painted upon old vans are not exactly the summit of creativity. Just imagined a few street artists running across the traffic to paint their Tags upon moving vehicles. Working top speed. Risking a ticket for illegal graffiti and speeding...

Note: Originally I already made a similar drawing (and blog text) a few years ago. This early entry will be published in the next Skredchbook!
