- ydt89, on 10/10/2007, -1/+62did that just link to duggmirror.. ???? o.0 !!!!
- jivemasta, on 10/10/2007, -0/+26I noticed that too, I think the host has a script to link to duggmirror when it gets too much traffic.
- UPGR4Y3DD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23I wouldn't recommend being a city statue (Hot Fuzz, anyone?).
- vvargoal, on 10/10/2007, -2/+22Either that web host is a savvy son of a bitch... or digg implemented some really cool redirect script. Dear god i hope it's the latter...
- Shorties, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14New digg feature!? Site down duggmirror it!?
- Rocketbird, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Wow that's great but next time I think they should use SMALLER pictures
/sarcasm - chrisbarr, on 10/10/2007, -4/+14you know, you could just hit the reply button....the results are very similar to what I'm doing right now.
- orangester, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Very cool. I rather enjoyed the picture of the security camera being pointed at "What are you looking at?" on the wall. Very creative.
- ivorysky, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I'm surprised there was no picture of the Headington Shark in Oxford - http://www.sirgeorgeyoung.org.uk/pageimages/shark_big.jpg
- duality, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Sure they are! Dancing is art, theater is art, and stand-up comedy is art. Flash mobs are art for exactly the same reasons. In fact, they might just be the first example of a "massively multiplayer performing art". By any chance, are you one of those people who doesn't think that video games are art either?
- hirak99, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I do it all the time in San Andreas.
- Mike89, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3The host will have setup a redirect script (manually) when he noticed the traffic.
Maddox did the same thing when you dugg his iPod article. - StrangeFamous, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/08/14/america/NA-GEN-US-Legal-Graffiti.php
- ptron, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3@orangester the artist you are referring to is banksy. http://www.banksy.co.uk/
- openthink, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5very cool. some cities are now actually embracing "grafitti," recognizing its creativity value. nyc, for example, provides certain venues for it, openly tolerates it in other areas...
- Elliuotatar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure I've heard of people being arrested for "reverse graffiti", where one cleans a dirty surface to make an image appear. Graffiti does not become legal simply because you are removing material rather than adding it, or because the graffiti is easily removed. I've even heard of little kids being hassled for chalk graffiti. Playing hopscotch is against the law in some places apparently!
- gredsen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You must have a very narrow definition of art. A flash mob fits under performance art.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_art - MattH, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Check out the stuff the Graffiti Research Lab is doing with Lasers and Projectors .
http://graffitiresearchlab.com/?page_id=76 - andshewas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2The pics were too small.
- t1m0j5, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2thats by the artist Banksy you can go to his website and find other enjoyable creations
- JCSaint, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I really love Banksy's stuff. I never thought I'd see it in person but I saw a very Banksy-like stencil at a train station in central New Jersey.

I have to assume Banksy wasn't in NJ just hanging around but very cool nonetheless. - knetworx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1That's incredibly awesome.
- jtb4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Cities should have designated walls for graffiti
- l1wulf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It is now.
- Charklii, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I found (almost) every link on that blog worth following. Awesome stuff, not just pics but a lot of great content to read.
- Coelacanth, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4Duggmirror is not displaying the images...
- Bloc, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3"This is him at 10:00."
"This is him at 11:00."
"This is him at 12:00." - parabolee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not legal, but probably the best graffiti artist around -
http://banksy.co.uk - mercurysquad, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't think so. Grafitti as an art form loses its value and charm then ..
- gregdigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I think you mean iPhone, and so did your face.
- MacPPC, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Somewhat offtopic, but has anyone else got the duggmirror version when clicking on the link? Is this new? Will we be automagically redirected to mirror whenever the original page fails to respond?
- oneoverzero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If the first comment got a ton of replies it wouldn't.
- Shelter22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I went to Paris a couple of years ago and was really surprised at all the graffiti. I knew there were Parisian writers, but I had no idea there was more Graf there than in NYC. NYC has tons of good writers who kill *****, but again, Paris seemed to have a little more.

This is from a village in France where Graffiti is everywhere! - Shelter22, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0it just took up the whole car? yeah, yeah, the whole car, it was the whole car, in big black and silver letters it said "all you see is" and then in big red and silver letters "crime in the city"
- wirehead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Check out the "legal wall" in Rochester, NY:
http://rocwiki.org/Legal_Wall - BJ_Blaskowitz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Just in case someone thinks that the upside statue is photoshopped (like some of the commenters FTA) - it's not, it's been on show at my university for some time.
- justfelipe, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0uh
really cool - Troyjinman, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0the picture in the link is actually from one of the many artists in my (favorite artists) folder in firefox bookmarks...
u can see his stuff here: http://www.kozyndan.com/main.php
or buy some here: http://www.kozyndan.com/posters.html - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Very good. Awesome.
- cklein121, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0duggmirror.. cool. reverse graffiti.. also cool.
- suxmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Hmmm there's a hitch on the load time, but the images do load given time. Maybe try Coral Cache? And no: it doesn't link to the mirror directly (you can see when you hover over the link) but the site is redirecting to the mirror.
The Blog Catalog widget is lagging the site. Yo ucan see it more easily via the main page: http://weburbanist.com - clarient, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0The dust art guy that draws pictures on the back of his car actually lives near me. I see his car every so often - it's even more impressive in person.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Awesome. :)
- aflaks, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2terrible website.
- szovegek, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Is tehere legal street?
http://www.szovegek.com/szovegek/diana-ross/index.php - jarlacher, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Where is it legal in NYC?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0I liked the baseball Player. looks as if he is about to hit the lady :-)
also check this out http://www.pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF098AD-Basebugs.jpg#165 - suxmonkey, on 10/10/2007, -6/+2@openthink: that's definitely another subset of legal graffiti not mentioned in this article, which focuses more on art that still subverts the norm despite being legal. Other links to legal graffiti would be great to see, though!
- weeeezzll, on 10/10/2007, -7/+2Buried! I hate jumping through hoops to see a ***** picture.
