Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a Maryhill Anti-Graffiti Network
Does anyone know who’s behind the Maryhill Anti-Graffiti Network?
Update: Veryape (aka General Ape) has some information on their inspiration:
It’s a play on posters put up during the 80’s by the philadelphia anti-graffiti network (formed by the then mayor to eradicate graffing) which read the same. pic of the original here. notice original’s spelling =) go pick up a copy of henry chalfant’s “spraycan art” book for more.
Thanks Ape!
Update II: I know who is behind the stencil now, but will respect the anonymity of the artist!
dunno which artist is behind it but it’s a play on posters produced by the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network during the 1980’s. have taken a pic of the original for your reference http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/subclub/IMGP0228.jpg and have a look out for henry chalfont’s “spraycan art” book for more of the same.
