Not the first time this has been done, Mr Clean has an ad where they pressure wash or re paint a pedestian crossing white line block and add a picture of Mr Clean. so you can see the contrast. similar ads made be crest and other cleaning brands. Never seen an "art" appeal to it.

Ya know, I really don't care that this is a "commercial" for Green Works. As an artist, I think that this is a brilliant idea. I would love to see more artists make a statement like this, personally.

it's not graffiti but ya they are fuckin w/ it's naming. Turning it into some true hippy shit not just hipsters anymore! LoL. Not that the message isn't good. It just shouldn't be called reverse graffiti.

dickdelux - Hah. I didn't even notice that bit but you're right. Now i get why the vid gave off a feeling of being "over done" if that makes sense.

Not bad for what is an advertisement for a cleaning solution! Think 500K people would watch this is they had been hyping the Green Works the whole way through ala a Mr Clean commercial? I don't think so-the ad game is changing!

I love this trend (see Orion for some amazing stuff) but I feel this dude could make a much more elegant point if he didn't pontificate about it so much. As to the technique not being "graffiti"; it isn't just like charcoal aren't oil pastels. This reminds me of ancient cave art rubbing techniques or landscape dirt/rock scrapings.
