Graffiti Reborn

So you think you know graffiti? You're down with Banksy. Friends think of you as an expert in street art, perhaps? Think again. Watch and learn...

From: Reverse Graffiti Project
" Standing in one of the moss and dirt covered tunnels in Leeds, England, Paul Curtis, "Moose" as he calls himself, saw marks on the wall where the shoulders of unsteady drunks and the fingertips of curious children had exposed the shiny white tile. And with only a pair of socks as his tool, reverse graffiti was born.
