Reverse Graffiti

The idea of reverse graffiti is perfect for all the people out there who really feel like graffiti is a horrible, destructive thing that needs to be vanquished from our society. Unlike graffiti, reverse graffiti requires no spraypaint or sneaking around. It can be done with nothing but water and a rag. In a sense reverse graffiti is nothing more than cleaning. The process of creating a work of reverse graffiti includes finding something that is very dirty, and cleaning off the dirt in certain designs or patterns. Moose, a reverse graffiti artist, recently worked on the Reverse Graffiti Project, a San francisco project promoting a plant-based cleaner. Here are some pictures of the outcome:

Another reverse graffiti artist is Alexandre Orion. Orion uses his works as environmental messages, as ways to promote green lifestyles.
One of Alexandre Orion's works of reverse graffiti was done in a Sao Paolo tunnel. He cleaned a number of skulls onto the tunnel wall with nothing but water and cloth, with the idea of reminding those driving in the tunnel of the consequenses of their emissions.
