The Way This Graffiti Artist Told His Story Is Brilliant. Just Keep Looking.

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.
