Graffiti can be vulgar. Graffiti can deface an otherwise lovely public space. But there are times where the modification of a piece of public space with a little paint or a sharpie pen can delight and inspire.The last few weeks I have noticed that the backs of several stop signs in town have been painted with a pair of demure closed eyes. Every time I see one of these altered stop signs it makes me smile.
It is so sweet and thoughtful. Taking an empty ugly grey space and giving it a sudden human kindness.
Thank you, oh mystery sign humanizer, for giving me an extra smile.
