If you know something about how this happened, no you don’t.

    Damm, it’s a small thing, but the fact they used a stencil for the graffiti to save time is a good foresight.

      I am still not sure if I come down on false flag or not.

      But yeah. Basically anyone who has done “real” graffiti knows to use a stencil. You want to get in, spray it, and get out. And then dump (or burn) the stencil so there isn’t anything tying you to it. Whereas people who are rookies are going to try to free hand things.

        Oh, dog, I know. They caught me off guard with the style. I’m guessing they used an exacto knife on a trace out on top of card board. It just looked hand done at first. I was more surprised by the fact that they used good graffiti tactics while making it seem hand done.

        The question is, why? It is weird, like you said.

        I’m thinking they were well researched but not an artist
