R.I.P. 5Pointz

I never had been to 5Pointz but I have always wanted to. Looks like that day will never come. It was white washed last night and it has plans to be demolished. If anyone has any pics of it in its glory I would love to see them.

Picture I saw online

I may be wrong but I believe that is the building that the movie "Now You See Me" used as their finale. It's been a couple month since I've seen the movie and this was the only picture that I could find that showed the building. I'll find out more soon. 1.

It makes perfect sense that you'd white-wash graffiti before demolishing a building (?!)

Or has someone whitewashed it all to do one super fresh piece before the demo crew come in?

A gigantic cock & balls would be worth it.

I guess I could never understand why there’s so many representations of penises at so many locations. Maybe I’m stereotyping that the majority of graffiti “artists” are male, and those that are female would create or more artistic rendition, but in my mind, presenting the opposite gender would my more desirous? Meh, what do I know?

There's gonna be a lot less "sightseers" milling about when the demo begins once word's out it's been repainted and "there's nothing to see".

"Are you happy now with all the choices you've made?" "Are there times in life when you know you should've stayed?"
"Will you compromise and then realize the price is too much to pay?" "Winners and losers... which one will you be today?"

Any of our ladies have any theories on why some guys like to draw men's junk?

Guess I just don't get it :/

I know, right? I just spraypaint around it like a stencil for a neat "silhouette" effect.

Graffiti is the human equivalent of dogs pissing on everything, so it makes perfect sense.

Everyone is up in arms about this, but I feel the true graffiti artists does not expect it to last for long. It's a temporary art installation (at least the quality stuff).

It will get painted over.

It will get stolen(Banksy).

At least Castle Hill in Austin is still around.

Haha . . . or a penis holding a penis (…for the benefit of everyone else – inside joke)

This

But I think the reason people were so crazed was because it happened overnight, sort of like an admission of guilt I guess? I mean, if you just woke up tomorrow and heard "they demolished Hudson last night" that would be pretty unsettling right? The same reasoning of not expecting it to last forever applies as well.

They were applying for landmark status. The owner said that if the committee had any inclination of leaning in their favor he would paint the walls overnight. Turns out he wasnt bluffing.

A graffitist friend of mine (back in the 80s) painted a set of ladies legs spread apart on a train carriage - the doors in the middle of the car were the... um... lady bits.

Watching people open the gigantic metal vaginal flaps and walk in was gold!
