Slap-up

Stickers or slap-ups are often seen in areas of high pedestrian traffic. Technically its street-art, which is art by the people for the people to see and interpret. Traditional graffiti is done with a spray-can with the intention to fuck with the structure of society. Street-art is undertaken by "radical" arts students avoiding their homework (*jokes). I respect everybody in the business of urban art. The raw element however of "getting up" with a sticker is as easy as piss. The work can be completed in the studio and is on the street sign in seconds.

Construction-Destruction

Interestingly enough building and construction sites particularly in cities are a hot bed for graffiti. Temporary structures such as signs or perimeter walls are popular surfaces. The building sites are temporary (just like graf) and when completed the graffiti becomes hidden, removed or loses its previous urban context.
