Street artists and their work are always under threat from local authorities. Removal teams painting over street art are almost as common as street art itself.
The UK-based street artist Mobstr had an idea. For his latest piece, he incorporated the work of his city’s graffiti clean-up crew to tell a story, one line at a time, on a single wall. Each time crews covered up a line, he wrote the next one on top of the covered up words. The cycle repeated itself until Mobstr finished the story. Check the innovative street art story below:

What an amazing way to use the medium. It is always great to see when street art strikes a balance between beauty and modern social commentary. I hope it’s not the last we hear from Mobstr.
