It's funny to learn there's a term for this. It reminds me of something that happened in our church parking lot a couple of years ago. Someone (presumably a neighbourhood kid) had drawn a big black phallus on the nice white-ish concrete path. It was there for a few weeks, so I decided to get some turpentine and a scrubbing brush and clean it off. However, I scrubbed it so well that after I'd finished there was big white phallus (much whiter than the surrounding path). The white phallus remains to this day, though it is fading.
- grigri907 3y agoI'm partial to the secondary graffiti that accumulates over time when half-hearted attempts to cover up graffiti with leftover paints seem to create a whole new mural of its own. https://www.designboom.com/art/brian-kosoff-graffiti-abstract-paintings-04-19-2022/ https://www.designboom.com/art/brian-kosoff-graffiti-abstrac...

- cpeterso 3y ago“The Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal” is a tongue-in-cheek documentary short film with a similar take on the art of graffiti removal. The filmmaker interviews Portland city workers about the process and follows them on their day painting over graffiti. The film is available on YouTube. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Subconscious_Art_of_Graffiti_Removal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Subconscious_Art_of_Graf...
