The Reverse Graffiti Project

[chommychom123]

i wonder how many trees it took to make the stencil. it defeats the purpose.

[lunasahab]

Cool!

[1baseOner]

it´s like he can do his reverse graffiti in front of any athority and the cant say shit to him tthat aswome jiji !!!



[gemairgon]

truely amazing artwork. and how it is created and what tools he uses to make it.

[BruceJBCpaintball]

Fucking cool, really original, like it.........just as long as he doesn't go over my piece we have no problem lol.

[BooGooNFlowoo4Evoo]

Maybe it's a message to the city: take some cleaner to this nasty concrete!

[yared94]

How long does that hold?

[catprep15]

Is it still up there? I'm visiting SF this week and would love to see this mural. :)

[61Slughi]

Really? 3 minutes of watching power washing and then only 10 seconds of seeing the final product?! I had to freeze frame the two seconds that showed to whole mural. Seems like the cameraman was less interested in the final product and more interested in film everything around it.

[lucasclay69]

Cool, but not that original.

[gibs9105343]

lol tme to find a dirty tunnel or wall and get CREATIVE :DDDDD how can this be braking the law in time everthing outside the art gallerys taht is not classed as ART/SHIT willl be a crime :LLLL

[GraffSavage]

I bet the city officials hate him for exposing how disgusting they let the city get and they probably fined him for "cleaning without a permit" or some other bullshit.

[lancer081292]

@bennie628 to put it in a way graffiti is adding something to a wall to form art reverse graffiti is taking something from a wall to make art

[Anyeluz09]

exelente

[WSLAOK3]

Legal or not, so the fuck what. It's still a great project and is beautiful art shared for all of us too see.

[IsaraiLee]

114 people tried to wash his graffiti off the wall

[t3d1zb01]

i finally found the name of this song!!! man i looked forever...

game 6 by garron chang

mad props to the music man

[Molotov8575]

Douche... Whoever did the stencils for him was good though. Lol

[MoiraJean14]

so what if it's an add campaign, just because he's getting paid doesn't make it any less of a good idea.

[sacboy9]

@MoiraJean14 you mean ad? retarded 10 year old

[Duvallpaige]

Oh, Wah, Avenger!! It's a great way to make art accessible to the public. Go shoot yourself, you elitist. 

[createrainbowz]

Excellent, beautiful... ONE LOVE :)

[SpyderPie1]

go to OG ABEL SONG for giveaway

[taweeshu]

whats the name of the song in the background?

[MrSafirius]

@BlackCavalier52 yes cours but some people think this is graffiti and they also think graffiti sucks.

but i love graffiti

[MrSafirius]

Is this illegal?

[BlackCavalier52]

@MrSafirius how could it be, he's just rubbin some grime off a wall

[asiguere]

well that was a waste of water...

[sdkkrew]

@asiguere fuck u

[asiguere]

@sdkkrew

aww that hurts my feelings

[zombieporn99]

I have been to Broadway Tunnel, and it's still there and it's still awesome.

[tapijtenenpindas]

0:58 looks like a high-pressure chrome with a fatcap on it. ghehe

[IDmcgowan]

I suppose as long as you've got corporate sponsorship you can put any image anywhere.

[kerplunk135]

the world is really really dirty...hahaha

[DerCo0lste]

i need that soundtrack doooog

[makeupholism]

Well, if it takes a brand to sponsor this kind of cleaning, so be it...!!!!

[FutureLaugh]

yo man i thought he was doing a mural not a billboard advertisement

[turkeyman64]

Alexandre Orion sent the real message when he came up with this concept. He drew skulls by hand because that is what would come from the pollution shown by soot on the walls, rough, gritty death. What does "Moose" show coming from the pollution we cause...perfect beautiful life.

[turkeyman64]

Wow...this is an embarassment. This guy could give two craps about the world. All he did this for was a pay check and publicity. But he's really original IVE NEVER SEEN THIS ART DONE BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jerk...

[volante0006]

i don't consider this guy creative or environmental at all. he is doing the same thing, same style that alexandre orion did and saying as if he came up with the idea since he was a kid. orion's work shows much more concern to the environment and gives a really powerful statement. if he has the wealth and power to block two lanes while working and using a neat power washer, he should go ahead and cleanup the whole thing...

[octopuscollective]

powered by capitalism.

[lil0ze]

the world is really really dirty

[Lorynlulu]

awesome. just awesome.

[DuZyGirL1]

sooooo cool.

[mikeybanky]

song name?

[harounkola]

cool

[zombieporn99]

omygoodness I was there!!!!!!!!!!!! it made my day.

[MegaSelke]

well that was gay



[shimacarcharhinus]

Liked a lot !

[Smash22376]

That's really incredible that you do this!

It's empowering.

[Simpsoniano66]

Many people think that graffiti are just vandalism but with this proyect you can understand what graffiti means

Think green, Life green

[TheSantiagomejia]

un trabajo del carajo el que hace este tipo, eso es crear un mensaje de conciencia verde en un contraste que al mismo tiempo esta hecho por la polución creada, asi qeu crea una contradicción interesante en esta forma de crear arte y del mensaje que queire presentar a lag ente.

[CharlesL33]

retarded...

[jacoburupnielsen]

Moose recently did a reverse graffiti workshop in Denmark which you may like - I am unsure how to link to the film which can be found on the Creativecitieseurope YouTube channel - can anyone help?

[MuseumOfDreams]

I used to live in LA...anything to brighten the lives of people who live in a depressing city is awesome.. One person can do a lot to a lot to make changes..so what they are ads for cleaning it is also creative and art and cool!

[themadscientest]

oooohhhhh something the pigs cant stop

[EulaleaDeehl6]

heyi am really bored anyone wanna play and have fun

[drsflora]

it is a paid ad for sponsored by the Clorox cleaner brand "Green Works"

[s0568814]

Dude, epic story, epic technique, just epic. Thankyou.

[Chibiusz]

Amusing .... I'm looking forward to see some more examples of Reverse Graffiti project

That's incredible that in everyday life e dont notice that all dirt.

Yaay for Moose that he have found the way to express himself in a something graffiti alike and connected it with showing people what they are doing to the world how the world exactly looks

[wft246]

Epic shit Moose

[twistymcslide]

what chemical is he using to reproduce his pictures of nature???? wtf...get the concept, but the technique doesnt seem to in line with its intent.

[turndemwrenches]

The chemical is called H2O. Apparently you've never heard of a pressure washer.

[twistymcslide]

look at 1:25 and 2:50 , youll see they use chemical injectionand a spray bottle . i used to own a pressure cleaning company , im in florida......i know what a pressure cleaner is .. thanks though captain obvious .

[themadscientest]

he is using green works brand because they sponsered it

[JeffsVideoProjects]

@twistymcslide Water and ecologically safe, biodegradable, plant-based cleansers.

[twistymcslide]

@JeffsVideoProjects thanks for the reply . just inspirational .. thank you .

[blesshiscottonsocks]

cool

:D

[SLiMMYHOTDOG]

tht woz inspiring innit

[Guitarlordd1]

did you ever get busted?? like by cops who thougt it was spraypaint or something...Can they even punish you for it?? It's not illegal to clean a wall is it..? :d

[NathasiaVillalobos]

I Honestly Thought He Was Spraypainting.

Then i Realized He Wasnt

Very Good

[toffaninmauro]

a unique creativity! awesome

[PowderSpirit3]

SUPERB !!! BRAVO !!!

[marcolammers]

We've thought of that for a street festival once, but it wasn't nearly as dirty as this spot. I'm not even sure it eventually got done, but if I'd have seen this I'd have pushed it for sure. Crazy

[rakkadwokkie]

If anyone knows what song this is please share the name

[MFxMLTVxONE]

so creative!

[d31x]

the word 'artist' should be put in between quotes instead of 'moose'. executing advertisement=art? huh?

[smao22]

'moose' is his nickname. slayloo

[d31x]

that was not the point.

[Nafke]

Yeah i thought that too. esp since I read some reverse graffiti make their own safe cleaners. but sti

[JeffsVideoProjects]

@d31x It's called being sponsored by a company so that he gets paid for his art, and if you can reproduce what he does, using what he uses, for free well then...we'd be happy to see it. Thanks.

[nate18871]

hahaha yo thats sickkkk screw my spray paint im getting a power washer :P

[stoopkidone]

wow this totally gives me like a different view of graffiti.

[omagh459]

i was smoking and looking for good clips, and seen this video. im so high, i didnt know what i was doing... but i was able to know how good this clip was.

[DaEvilShadow]

A nice piece of work..

hopefully it will make people realize how much they pollut.

Can some one tell me which music i heard?

[gedankenkraft]

BIG!

[zombieporn99]

keep doin what you're doin!

you ROCK!

[iriefire1]

brilliant!!

[alexb148]

im going to have to clean the whole restrount now

[belikejames]

theres almost 666, 666 veiws

[1962hump]

How "green" is it to shoot all those phosphates and probably stronger chemicals right into the city's storm drainage system? I don't really give a shit...just curious....

[Yarwer]

good point, i am not sure it would have too much impact though , , , imagine when you clean your bath/shower with some of those chemicals : |

[m4nt15]

He was using Green Works, it's supposed to be an all natural cleaner. So, really, it can't be that bad.

[LogicalSimba]

How boring is it being you.......just wondering.

ps how "green" is it using google & youtube?

dont google "pump out" 140000kg of Carbon a day?

[doglyfe4444]

very amazing. reverse graffiti, wow haha

[wwwavenger]

Disappointed to realize this was an advertising campaign.

[brouxbart]

some people also do it but the funny thing is they're are arrested like graffiti artist

wile they are actual cleaning:p

[ZYtharr]

@wwwavenger it was powered, it wasn't an advertising campaign. Some don't see the important part of this. I think i was really smart of someone to do such a thing, most of the people just walk by and notice the dirt and mud and walk away. He decided he could make that place look better and bring a smile when you see it. It's a shame all you see is an advertising campaign!...

[ashedmonds]

@wwwavenger True- but it's tastefully done in comparison to everything else out there!

[zurban587]

cool idea...sick cinematography

[Funkadelika86]

DAMN...realy cool IDEA

[allegrochirurgo]

really impressive, indeed...

[Vutra666]

losers

[knightrider9350]

id say this dude just can never clean anything completely... just always has to make a picture out of dirt...

[IRONxMortlock]

Brilliant! I noticed traffic going through the tunnel so I assume that this was officially sanctioned?

[zombieporn99]

good for him for having the guts to take it this far.nice pictures!

[sidetrak2]

So really, we're all guilty of graffiti when we create pollution.

[matrixagent5]

ahaha cool

[Schwertwal]

hippies

[heymanwasup]

is it against the law...cause i mean ur just cleaning...

[skisalta1]

Does anyone know what the music in the background is? It's really sweet!

[larry89]

a true artist

[GraffBONE123]

June 12th

Bomb the Streets

Bomb the city

Spread the word

[Graffryeder]

[jaszetorres]

[westbaytycoon]

lmao sf is a mecca for graffiti. good luck cleaning it up in a free minded city

[lucaspkr]

congratulations!!

Very cool job

[kingofgraff]

hey everyone subscribe to ''nbbcru'' he is really good.

[SailorBabe]

I hope this is still there this summer when I'm in San Francisco

[GodMadeMePerfect]

does somebody know that

instrumental in the background, name?

[billyboy892]

watch this : /watch?v=JwsBBIIXT0E

is reverse graffiti too, but is cooler

He's from Brasil

[fr8ARTruleZ]

HAHA.

[darraghforrester]

there's an irish graffiti artist that does this too hahah

[texasBMXer]

This is so cool. Im going to try this soon.

[sdws17]

I don't get it... so he cleaned walls then put graffiti on them?

[ravohimself]

He cleans the wall to make it look like grafitti. its like if you put a stencil down and painted over that. he cleans on the inside of the stencil so the outside it still dirty and the picture is lighter and cleaner

[sdws17]

oh, that's awesome

[blackplagueee]

that was amazing

[Enysvar]

ZEVS did this too

[Andyiron777]

I bet this guy is in jail now.  fuck the system.

[zzz33333]

cleaning is not illegal

[Kirilltraceur]

wow...... im not alone

[lantandrei]

nice bro.respect. subscribed...!!!

[nicesatu]

amazing..

[crazy4beatles]

wow! I'd heard about it but it's so dramatic once you see it. Prof. of Dirt hehehe The video is really well done as well. I love the shot of the water at around the 2 minute mark. Mayor props!!

[dotMacintosh]

It's a very artistic way to scream "clean the world!".

Plus, it's a graffiti you can proudly talk about. You are not painting other people or city's walls to make them look dirtier and polluting air with your aerosol...

... you clean them! Who's gonna accuse you from cleaning a wall partially? =) love it

[shultoncypher]

does anybody know the name the song???

[arsee227]

apparently some of the city council members of san francisco. they're accusing him of breaking the law. once the murals are put up, the city needs to hire industrial scrubbers to remove it.... makes you wonder if people have a problem with cleaning or freedom of expression.

[blindbandithybrid]

muy chido me agrada la idea

The Reverse Graffiti Project rifa

[bombingarts]

oo ah ah ah ah!

[bombingarts]

GENIUS. this motherfucker beat the system! he does graffiti art but he does no damage to the property! so the governtment still has to clean it up but he cant get in jak shit for this !

[foxytr900]

[bollygirlNYC]

[oGoldenLaurelo]

[nbbcru]

[ZonkiSpray]

[Maskedbomber]

nice. but i would still bomb over his shit.

[waterunderthebridge4]

well yeah its still graff right? of course ppl gonna go over him but then hell clean it up lol

[faithskater72]

Thats actually one of the cooler things ive seen in a while

[kusheater327]

sestor

[write2jessi]

He wasn't bitching. He specifically said he's not the biggest environmentalist. He's just an artist who wanted to get people thinking.

[moosecside]

i used about $8 of unleaded petrol, you cant unfortunately get biodeisel or conversions for an the size of engine i use because its so small. the water is reclaimed, the rest is zero impact, i think for what was achieved visually there is no better way of working in terms of minimum environmental impact. i wasnt bitching about anything, just putting things in front of peoples noses so thay can make up their own minds and that is my current daytime job. ta

[gofinditdotnet]

We hit up Berlin underneath a train station and all over town. Check it on our channel..

[Rope13]

cool

[vancityvandals]

its intresting but not really my taste i wouldnt do it

[TheEdukators]

you have to admit that is a pretty good idea..haha

[youngREEZYnikkas]

so the jackass makes stencils... who gives a fuck

[titandown]

its called art, asshole

[youngREEZYnikkas]

bitch art is murals pieces colors combonations how gives a fuck about dirt and water stencils?

[titandown]

lol, i love you. and i half agree with what you say. i think it is art. you dont.

[tvtayber]

yeah Illuminati !!!! WAAAAHOOOO!!!

[mgd777]

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.

[argentiviolin]

Love it.

[TinkerMitski]

dude this is awesome! your a genius! I just love it!

[dickdeluxe]

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!

[dgm1514]

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.

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.
