Clever Vandalism by The Actor, [Insert Better Name Here], The Chairman
July 10th, 2008 2:47 AM / Location: 37.958359,-121.7232
While this is more of a Lux Aeterna completion, I assure you in this area it is easily considered vandalism.
I was inspired by a painting I made a while ago,
[Insert Better Name Here]
and
The Chairman
joined me for this adventure, and helped with some photo taking and supply holding. We had enough to make two hearts, a large one and a small one.
It was a night to spread thought throughout Brentwood.
Symbols, icons, what people think of them, you never really stop to question anything about them. You take them at face value.
I want people to look at those crosswalk signs and think, "Wow, that's a cute couple."
A couple walking across the street, holding hands.
No one thinks, hey, they must be a young couple walking around enjoying the day!
I could change the hearts to something else, and make it say, there goes two drunk people walking home from a party, totally about to sex.
I dunno, I just wanted people to read more into icons and really think about the things we don't really think about.
Maybe one day I'll move up to the paint graffiti stage.

That's how I read that sign too. And I love the image.

Love: Makes you veer suddenly to the right.

The gummies read the sign as 'go around the obstacle to find love.'









I reckon completions like these are more clever than those than try to inscribe Schõdinger's formula onto a wall. Well done.
