Defacer With Mystery Agenda Is Attacking Street Art

Nicole Bengiveno/The New York Times

The evidence is the bright green and purple splashes of paint that began appearing on walls in Brooklyn and Manhattan more than a month ago. The carefully aimed blobs obscured or disfigured dozens of pieces of street art created by people who may not be household names, but who have achieved the esteem of peers and some recognition from the mainstream art world. The targets of the paint attacks have included posters, paper cutouts pasted on walls, and images stenciled on the sides of buildings.

Stencil Archive on Tour in March

I will be on the lookout for street stencils, utilitarian markings, and all in between. Drop me an em to russellh[at sign]stencilarchive[dot]org if you'd like to meet up. Or just tell me where to look for walls of pieces or gallery shows with cut-outs.

Would also love to archive artist stencils and cut-outs to either add to your own archive or give you a new one. Will travel to your studio if distance and time allows.
