Evolution of a Wall

In May 2009, Mr. Brainwash bombed the Meatpacking District with paste-ups, including these large side-by-side portraits of Madonna and Angelina Jolie.

Not everybody in the graffiti/street art world cares for Mr. Brainwash. By September, the faces were faded and torn. They were also doodled on, mustached, and dickchickened.

Brainwash replaced them with fresh faces--this time double Madonnas. By December, the material girls were sprayed with splashes of pink paint and declared "FAKE."

Today, they serve as the foundation for a chaotic collage--a revolutionary clown, a starling, a quote from Elbow Toe...



And the Brainwash bits were torn to shreds. And then?

    You're a "street artist" and you worship celebrity? How lame.

    No more merit to this than to the giant Harrison Ford head.

    I find the second to last one the most creepy and interesting. It's the panda. Makes me want to see more street art evolutions like this. - BN
