Despite the fact that spray painting is looked down upon for anarachic
purposes by so-called
"Elite Anarchists" like The Neon Knights, when all is
said and done it is one of the
most simple, most enjoyable, and least expensive
activities you can spend your evenings doing.
What follows are a few
suggestions that you can use to bring spray paint beyond the pale of
ordinary
vandalism.
Above all, the way to get the most enjoyment out of your
paint can is to plan
your painting beforehand. This gives the activity an air of conspiracy
that
will make it more interesting. Check out your target the day before. Is it in
an
optimum position to humiliate your "mark", if you have one? What color
paint would
show up best on the surface you are painting (a hard decision to
make in the middle of the
night)? All these decisions have a bearing on how
effective the painting will be.
When making a decision about who to hit and how to hit them, be creative!
Try to pick a slogan
that will get the random person on the street to consider
your work funny, as opposed to just
the work of another vandal. For example:
"MCDONALD’S SUCKS" scrawled on the wall
next to the drive-up lane of your local
Mickey D’s just can’t match "Eating The Food Here
Is Comparable To Having
Oral-Anal Sex With A Dead Goat" carefully printed in white
Krylon
(quick-drying, and contrasting nicely with the dark red brick of most McD’s).
Those with a more twisted sense of humor might try the oldie-but-goodie "Only
21
Killed!" under the word "McDonald’s" on the building’s side.
Or, if you
don’t feel like being funny, invent a conspiracy! The sudden
appearance of pentagrams (in red
paint!) on the doors of several local Baptist
churches will create a furor you would not
believe — especially if you manage
to do it correctly: No 666, No Heavy Metal references, No
blasphemies, just
pentagrams on the doors. If you do the "666" and Metal references,
they’ll
write it off to a bunch of Metal-crazed kids and have a sermon the next Sunday
about the evils of popular music. But Satanic symbols carefully copied from
the Necronomicon
(which is available in the Occult section of any good
paperback bookstore), will make many
preachers go absolutely bugfuck. Other
interesting options include "Lesbians against
Porn" on porno bookshops *and*
the windows of newsstands that carry Playboy, Penthouse,
et. al. . . .
hispanic slogans ("La Raza", etc.) on walls in lily-white areas of
town . . .
defacing a school with slogans of their cross-town rivals . . . then sit
back
and watch the fur fly! Keep it believable and you’ll have much more
success.
If
you like, pick a name at random out of the phone book and paint "[Joe
Random] Fucks
Goats" in a few prominent places near his home. He’ll spend a
lot of time wondering who
hates him. The same result would stem from a
carefully-painted black "X" on his
door. Nobody else’s . . . just his. Go
around to the side of his house and Krylon over the
readouts on the electric,
gas, and water meters — Public Service will come down on him with
both
hob-nailed boots. Find his bedroom window and black out all the panes — when
the
alarm goes off and his room is still dark, he’ll go back to sleep and be
late for work!
A few more ideas: the overnight appearance of "Off The Pigs" on walls all
over town (enlist your friends!) will make your local constabulary a bit more
itchy to beat
someone’s head in, so don’t get caught painting that one! Drive
slowly down the street with
your friend hanging out the window, painting lines
on the cars as you pass by. Or find a dark
neighborhood and black out a few
license plates.
In all, there are no limits to
the fun you can have with a can of spray
paint. Go out there and Psssssss somebody off!
