The Splasher
Last week there was more talk of the splasher. A friend emailed me about it, here's my take:
Yeh, I've seen a few. It's crazy.
I saw this great swoon piece in LES that was splashed with green paint.
This old guy who you'd never think would be into such things saw me shooting it and told me what a shame it was that someone would do that.
I don't know how I feel about it. It's sort of the nature of putting up anything like that.
I mean, you put it up and eventually someone - the owner, the mta, whoever, is going to take it down. It's ephemeral - that's why we shoot.
That said, I think running around calling yourself an artist and destroying other folks' art because it's not authentic is pretentious bullshit.
