    I can get some of it, but also not.

    Anybody’s eyes and brain make any sense of this little body of work?

    I think those guys need to mix in some color for better expression of thought.

    It's similar to the Tres Leches' graffiti in the San Luis Valley being only white paint.

    That's what I see too. Possibly a self portrait.

    We were spring cleaning the road sand out of the snow sheds on the highway last week. Found out the bridge crew(maintain bridges and snowsheds) hate this guy. Tags everything so they have to continually cover/paint it. One guy found his site. I'm guessing a skatepunk. Good stuff

    Ya I thought there were shitty wannabe graffiti artists and then the real artists. That grom/grominator tags shit scribbles everywhere but also does some amazing work like ice's guy "quik".
    He has literally tagged both sides of all the snowsheds and most bridges from Calgary to revelstoke and beyond. Most quick scribbles pretty much equating to " I was here but now I'm gone". At the same time he has 25k followers and sells prints for $250 a pop. Like banksy, he is unknown personally(or so I'm told)

    It's a gtaeway crime and they should have to paint over everything they do when they get caught. Then paint public buildings and seniors homes as punishment.

    It's definitely an expense to the tax payer but so isn't all the timmys/fast food/ mac Donald's litter. Mac D's isn't anonymous. Get them first. Multiply it by 10 to cover the health care costs

    In Barcelona I signed up for the historical walking tour thru the barrio but nobody else did so it was canceled

    so I did the street art tour instead ... I had no idea about any of this stuff

    Not saying this is how they did the water tower but, a lot of stuff is done with rollers on looong poles. With a spotter at a distance directing. I’d say that’s how the water tower was done but it doesn’t explain the man on there.

    Nobody is painting with an 85' roller on a pole. Likely an access ladder climbed and ropes, ascenders used to hang off the side and paint.
