Mr. Scruff Takes Reverse Graffiti To A New Level

Posted by Senses Lost On November - 11 - 2008

This is a video of the Ninja Tune artist Mr. Scruff, teamed up with reverse graffiti legend Paul “Moose” Curtis on an enormous piece of environmental art.

Ninja Tuna recording artist Mr Scruff is collaborating with Brighton visual artist Moose on a series of artworks to highlight the worlds dwindling fish populations, caused by over fishing.

The first of these artworks are premiered this week as Scruff, a confirmed environmentalist, is set to release his aptly titled new album Ninja Tuna on Ninja Tune records on Oct 6th.

An enormous fish – modeled on an original Scruff illustration and measuring 100m x 35m - is situated on a hillside on the J22 off the M62, not far from Scruff’s home town of Manchester. It’s constructed from pinned fabric which allows the light to pass through so the grass underneath will not be harmed.

Scruff and Moose have continued this fishy theme – and using the ‘reverse graffiti’ method with 25 additional fish ‘swimming’ under foot in Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens, which will, over time, fade away.

Facebook Graffiti Story

Posted by Senses Lost On November - 11 - 2008

 Sarah Graydon is a whore

This is quite a funny story. A guy in Ottawa, walks past some graffiti that involves a girls name being called a whore. He decides to look her up on Facebook and deliver her the bad news.

This is how the story goes:

Graffiti Finder: We saw graffiti by the Ottawa river that read “Sarah Graydon is a whore”. Then we looked you up on Facebook. The end.

Sarah: There’s more then one Sarah Graydon in Ottawa you fucking dick.

Graffiti Finder: Yes.

Sarah: So why did you send me this message? Where was this?

Graffiti Finder: It was under a parkway bridge, down near the river, where I walk my dogs. It was painted on a wall.

I was walking my dogs with my wife and we saw the graffiti. And I said, jokingly, “I wonder who Sarah Graydon is? Maybe I should look her up in the phone book.”

She laughed and said, “Look her up on Facebook.”

So I punched in “Sarah Graydon” and your profile was obviously in Ottawa. So I sent you a message.

It struck me as vaguely funny. And your response (”fucking dick”) made my wife and I laugh. So now everyone is happy.

Well, except maybe you. And maybe some other Sarah Graydon.

Sarah: Thank you for ruining my evening. I’m glad it has amused you.

Graffiti Finder: This sort of thing shouldn’t ruin your evening. It’s entirely random. Assuming it’s not you.

Sarah: I know Graffiti aritists in Ottawa and someone probably decided it would be funny to put that up or they were pissed or drunk. Can you give me a better location so we can go over it? Is this a big piece?

Graffiti Finder: It’s just a marker scrawl. Nothing big. No “artist” did this. I’ll send you a picture of it. I just walked by it with my dogs and snapped two photos.
