At last the buff has a point
Seems the Toasters have been very busy in London town of late. An all too common sight in some areas are the grey, white and black blobs of paint that the graffiti removal teams leave behind when obliterating graffiti and street art. They like to have any kind of expression reverted back to a bland wall hidden behind a ridiculous looking rectangle of primer. Now the Toasters have incorporated these very areas into arrows highlighting their own street art. Does this mean now that the graffiti removal teams are in part responsible for the creation of new graffiti? Clever stuff indeed!

Love the Toasters' work.
I've just written about buffing in Melbourne on Images to Live By, so it was great to hear about the Toasters' creative adaptation of the buff:
