Graffiti tags are not street art; they are signatures that just say "I was here (and got away with vandalism.)" Igor Kupec of Košice, Slovakia, is a government bureaucrat but has a creative mind. He noticed the tags proliferating through his city, and decided to turn them into something amusing and thought-provoking. He added typography to the tagged walls that gave meaning to the signatures, like in the picture above. Kupec has turned vandalized walls into job applications, petitions, checks, volunteer sign-up sheets, letters, and more.
Kupec got permission from the owner of each building, which took a long time because people rarely understood what he was proposing. He also found out that no one calls the police when a man wearing a respectable suit climbs a ladder and paints on a wall in broad daylight. Kupec tells his story in a video.
