The streets of Riga host some pretty cool reverse graffiti action! No paint was involved, the artists only cleaned certain spots.

#2 The problem in Paris is that a lot of walls have actual painted graffiti on them, and it's horribly difficult to clean, especially on limestone (which is what makes the older buildings in Paris).

And yet the POLICE would still find a way to charge you for it.

Nice work :D

They use it in advertisements too, that's very anoying. and ugly.

Was hoping some artist made some real art were I live, instead of ads, but not... :(

Its an interesting loophole. Advertisers in the UK (London in my case) knew the law wouldn't allow them to directly place adverts on the street pavements. So then someone came up with the idea that instead of directly placing ads on the pavement they could use a stencil to "clean" a part of the pavement. Afterall, there is no law to stop you from cleaning the street, even if done partially.

Wait a minute - they do less than half a job of cleaning the grime off the walls and streets, and it becomes SNOTR-worthy?

In Argentina we use this technique to write with a finger on dirty cars "lavame sucio".
It's in our culture.
