This is great! Something those in the responsible world all want to see.
I hope the scrubber helped put it there.
Timely and I hope, destined for the 2009 PDML Annual.

Thanks, Jack.

I don't know if this guy is responsible for the graffiti - er, I mean,
"urban art" - but I doubt it.  Looks like he works for a graffiti
removal service.  He certainly doesn't look happy in his work though,
and although I'm no expert, I'd also venture a guess that he's not
been given the best or most efficient tools for the job.

Thanks for your kind words.

cheers,
frank

Buddy caught with his arm fully extended for an impression of maximum
discomfort and inefficiency makes it even more sisyphic IMVHO - I had
a hard time guessing how he would actually work but I guess it must be
part shoulder swinging the arm up and down and part wrist following
along with the angle of the brush. Major carpal tunnelage happening
there... Windshield wiper motion is not an option unless you're
seriously into pain. You couldn't have caught a better moment within
his movement. Also he is standing as far away from the wall as
possible to him and with his head very far back making me wonder why
that is. Nice one.

With the brush he's using, it looks like a lot of splatter is created,  
hence the posture.
