Brisbane City Council Suck

BRISBANE'S anti-graffiti squad has been accused of illegally entering private property to paint over a commissioned mural by a world-renowned street artist.

New York-based artist Anthony Lister was last week commissioned to paint a 10m mural in a vacant lot in Fortitude Valley.Lister graffitiLister graffiti

The piece took him two days but was "buffed" by Brisbane City Council's Graffiti Reduction Unit less than 48 hours later.

Mr Lister, who was born in Brisbane but lives in Brooklyn, had a letter of permission from the lot owner.

JIM JOE





According to The Link Newspaper of Canada, Jim Joe is originally from Montreal and attended McGill University; he was featured in the Fall 2009 issue of McGill’s art magazine, Folio, in his fourth year.

He became active in New York sometime around early 2010 and has graced objects with his tag at least as far north as Columbus Circle, and as far out in Brooklyn as Bushwick and Bedford-Stuyvesant. His canvas of choice, though, seems to be the southeast area of Manhattan.

Jim Joe is unlike most graffiti artists, not only due to his style and artistic influences, but also because he has a website, a blog, a Twitter account and a publicly known e-mail address.

happy 9/11

Think about it
