Actually I live right there.
2 days after it was put up those (i won't name who) kids put the black buff paint on it. 2 days
after that it was repainted, then the following day someone dissed it writing "Off Limits" That
rode for about 4 days and it was fixxed yesterday.
The way i see it is, this was a known writer, that's up nation-wide and deserves respect for the
decade + he's been painting. However as far a vandalising it any advertisment is up for grabs
but if your doing it to this because it's bastardising "street art" you better hit all the comedy
central ads, converse ads, and the countless others that use a"graffiti stylized" treatment.
To all the chicagogoans on this board, do you think they are the ones buffing the fill-ins on
billboards with black paint? (lets hope not). I've seen this done twice.
****EDITED****
While I said that advertisments are up for grabs, know your history before hand, and keep
in mind you my offend some people you did not wish to.
And don't bother guessing who it's by if you can read style, good. If you can't, get a clue.

i concur with you deter. i too am from the hot air city. they printed an article in the CHICAGO READER. a free newpaper. to me you gotta do what you gotta do. and if the artist the we both know who it is has to do it...then fuck it. i doubt its writers but you never know.
