“Graffiti on a support wall under an overpass that reads:
“‘What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, it's probably way too cold for it. You want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little. I mean, what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now, but our situations are different.’
“You can tell from the photo that previous graffiti was painted over many time with slightly different colors of grey with the latest cover up (that was written over with the above text) showing bubbles and ripples in the paint from using the wrong paint at the wrong temperature.”
what... What an interesting assumption to make! The towns I've lived with strong street art scenes have been the most interconnected, generationally. The places I've lived with the least street art have been strictly suburban in nature and have had higher rates of violent crime. The only thing a place without tags tells you is there's a lot of police, and probably a lot of white people.
