Reverse Graffiti Project

If you see the outlines of flowers on the sidewalks in Amsterdam, it wasn't because of that puff you took at the coffee shop; artist Christine van Doesburgh has been spiffing up the neighborhood with "reverse graffiti"


Inspired by the Reverse Graffiti project (photo above), van Doesburgh made stencils of local plants and used a high-pressure water hose (usually used to clean graffiti off of walls) to stencil the plants onto the ground.

Here are a few more photos of the Amsterdam ones:

That is a great idea, I love it. I am all for scrubbed sidewalks, especially pretty ones. I expect you & Diego to have 16th Street transformed when we get back!
