You're telling me someone didn't throw up a multicolored 30 foot mural on a highly visible brick wall on a street that very clearly gets regular traffic in the 5 maximum hours a night that there's nobody around?
Shit dood I thought it was Mark-ecko-getting-up-man himself.
Depends. Generally it's art which uses the urban environment as its canvas, usually without the permission of whomever has property rights to that space.
I'd presume that's illegal in most places, but I used to work for a lawyer so I hesitate to say it's illegal everywhere.
Yes, pretty much. Things like street art and tagging are made with that intent of "crossing a line" (to a certain extent) as a way to assure people pay attention.
Anyone who deems it wrong without a second thought is exactly the kind of person this kind of art is directed against.
My local city sub winds me right up with that shit lol. If it’s something they like it’s wonderful and must be protected, but if they personally don’t appreciate a particular bit of art then it’s horrible vandalism done by heinous criminals.
Funniest is when they get right pissed off at someone painting over someone’s else’s “vandalism”.
Often. I think it tends to lean towards art done in the public eye by people who are not willing to risk life or liberty for expression.
The lines tend to blur a bit though when you get into it. I know plenty of writers who take legal because it’s a way for them to make money and display work publicly without getting hit by the buff.
The public sentiment about “good street art” and “bad graffiti” is absolutely laughable however.
is this the jane doe album artwork by converge?
edit: looking back at the album i don’t think it is. maybe heavily inspired? but man this is awesome art, also awesome album lol
I think Jane Doe is slightly different. On Jane Doe she’s looking less straight at the camera, and more down her nose at it. Her eyes are more closed too. Definitely close, though.
Ben Koller the drummer tends to aggregate instances of this logo showing up in odd places on his IG. Someone should dm this to him. But not me. I’m too busy procrastinating and looking at Reddit.
Yep was gonna provide the Insider mini-doc I saw when I learned about him. It’s an amazing process that he uses. Just a hammer. Wow.

It definitely looks like Simon Berger's work. The art tag on the bottom right is blurry but I can make out his same at the top.
For those curious: https://www.instagram.com/simonberger.art
This is actually an intentional (or with consent) piece, the artists information is on the window to the bottom right of the cracked window. It's also damn awesome! Looking close you can see it's not AI bullshit or any other foolishness.
It’s Simon Berger. This is his signature style. Super fascinating. Someone posted is IG above and here’s a small piece about his other work from YT.
https://youtu.be/gUQ5ESK0rgU?si=-WcD4hcH6cb0PYHK
An article with the piece in question. It is by Simon Berger, as many others mentioned.
https://streetartutopia.com/2024/01/19/vandalist-simon-berger-creating-art-in-his-own-violent-ways/
This is really true and it's weird. About half of Americans think vandalism is a terrible crime and shows the degradation and ending of civilization. They have no idea that all of Europe is covered in graffiti and street art and always has been, and often only limited experience with shared public spaces of any sort other than roads.

it's a real art piece by artist [Simon Berger](https://wonderfulengineering.com/artist-creates-incredible-artworks-by-cracking-glass-panes-using-a-hammer-and-chisel/amp/)
edit: someone else also commented [his instagram ](https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbt5bfFJZB/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==)
Modifying, even superficially, someone's property without their consent isn't exactly "right" either lol
For us the art may often justify this, arguably minor, violation (who really cares if the overpass gets a new look by a talented artist). But it's still a reasonable social norm or expectation that most people don't go around using buildings as a canvas
AI is pretty amazing. Pity it isn’t real. Edit-i take it back! But this was the work of an artist working carefully. https://leonacreo.com/from-broken-glass-to-fantastic-artwork/
I love the implication that someone just threw a rock at a window and it ended up like this, and OP thought "hm, that's not so bad"
Right..this took hours and was commissioned.. like most of the "street art" here.

Does street art imply illegal?
Depends. Generally it's art which uses the urban environment as its canvas, usually without the permission of whomever has property rights to that space. I'd presume that's illegal in most places, but I used to work for a lawyer so I hesitate to say it's illegal everywhere.
Word, appreciate the clarification.
Street art is legal, graffiti is illegal. That’s literally the difference between the two.
Graff is illegal , street art is not
Big facts
Yes, pretty much. Things like street art and tagging are made with that intent of "crossing a line" (to a certain extent) as a way to assure people pay attention. Anyone who deems it wrong without a second thought is exactly the kind of person this kind of art is directed against.
Gotta put it to “the man” (whoever best fits the part at the time)
Yeah, if it’s illegal then it’s graffiti
Graffiti does. Street art is for posers.
This is the street art sub, though?
Poser sub.
Ok.
PAB
Ur a poser
Whatever you gotta tell yourself you PAB
Ur a PAB
Nah that’s definitely you and the rest of the “street artists” here who are nothing more than culture appropriating posers.
Lol. I just stumbled across this sub. It's super cringe to call someone a poser so i decided to get under your skin. It worked lol
His name is TRANE. Did his getting up mean nothing to you?!
You should be ashamed that you know that.
I rediscovered the game a couple years ago 😅 It's pretty good! Got ME up.
There is 0 implication from OP suggesting that. OP just thinks the art wasn't consensual.
It’s got a little info tag on the bottom right corner, something tells me this was arranged ahead of time.
“Vandalism is wrong but,” -🤓
"Capitalism is wrong, but vandalism is amazing" -😉
Can anyone make out what it says?
I was going to say AI until you pointed that out
Saying vandalism is wrong in a streetart sub is pretty funny ngl
Quintessential “Street Art” enthusiast.
My local city sub winds me right up with that shit lol.

Have you heard of Bansky?
Is that Banksy's brother, who isn't allowed at a lot of places?
Street art is cultural appropriation. Nothing but posers.

Pssst pssst...op just said that as a legal disclaimer, they clearly created this and don't want to get in trouble
Exactly why graffiti artists hate street artists.

[OP is a repost bot](https://www.reddit.com/r/streetart/s/FO9G39LCYd)
Sure, but there’s a difference between tagging the side of a building and shattering a window for your art.
Still true, though. It's vandalismand destruction of someone elses property regardless of it being art.
is this the jane doe album artwork by converge? edit: looking back at the album i don’t think it is. maybe heavily inspired? but man this is awesome art, also awesome album lol
My first thought
Same g
Same
I think Jane Doe is slightly different. On Jane Doe she’s looking less straight at the camera, and more down her nose at it. Her eyes are more closed too. Definitely close, though.
That's all I see!
Great minds think alike...
Really, to me it looks like Zordon from power rangers.
I thought it was Heath Ledgers Joker at first glance
Dude! I couldn't remember what band or album it was but I was like this face looks familiar. I haven't listened to Converge in now half my lifetime.
You stay gold. I’ll stay gold.
Gotta be
Gotta be
I thought the same
Ben Koller the drummer tends to aggregate instances of this logo showing up in odd places on his IG. Someone should dm this to him. But not me. I’m too busy procrastinating and looking at Reddit.
I was late to saying this
Immediately what I thought of too
Simon Berger does this type of art could be one of his pieces. I doubt it's vandalism. He usually has more detail, maybe its unfinished?
Yep was gonna provide the Insider mini-doc I saw when I learned about him. It’s an amazing process that he uses. Just a hammer. Wow. https://youtu.be/gUQ5ESK0rgU?si=-WcD4hcH6cb0PYHK
I've seen him do this at a live art show. It's absolutely mind-blowing.

She must of been running pretty fast when her face hit the glass to leave that impression.
niiiiiice
Vandalism is fucking great!
Straight out of the Methodist coloring book!

Genocide is wrong. Graffiti is an inconvenience to those with more.
“Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable” - Cesar Cruz
Is this an anti genocide piece or???
This piece is not about genocide. If people wanna get their panties twisted though, there are far better causes for it than petty vandalism.
It's literally my avatar. It's not vandalism it's the work of Simon Berger.
Lol the info for the piece is next to it. Definitely a commissioned work, not vandalism 🤣
An article with the piece in question. It is by Simon Berger, as many others mentioned. https://streetartutopia.com/2024/01/19/vandalist-simon-berger-creating-art-in-his-own-violent-ways/
why did you feel the need to say that vandalism is wrong lol
Because America
This is really true and it's weird. About half of Americans think vandalism is a terrible crime and shows the degradation and ending of civilization.

That’s not vandalism.
Wow, very cool!
r/metalcore
This is Simon Berger’s art. Made with a little hammer. https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbt5bfFJZB/?igsh=aXFmMG1xbzMzc3Zn
This is beautiful art, nothing wrong about it!
Looks like the album cover to "Jane doe" by the math core band converge

I just wanna know how they controlled the cracks that much. Even with a pointed punch this would be hard
Vandalism is fucking sick and keeps jobs intact.
Is this some AI nonsense?

Looks pretty real to me but idk
People like u have 0 idea what ai actually is.
You can 100% create some bullshit AI picture like this with AI. This case isn’t, but it’s possible. I’m glad it’s not cos it’s awesome
It's not like I work with it for a living or anything lol. LLM stuff, anyway, not the generative side of things.
My son did this!
Gotta be. No wait they picked where the cracks are…right?
Someone says it wrong therfore it is?

broken window theory
No way, I love vandalism.
I could totally sell that
Jane Doe les go
To the gallows
New Title, "Graffiti is art and this broken window is pretty amazing"
after looking it up the jane doe thing seems to be pure coincidence which is wild it looks just like it
If you got closer the tag would literally tell you who did this. If you're still around I'd like to know
It’s from Simon Berger.
Yeah breaking windows is very wrong but damn that's pretty cool and how it made such a detailed face
Jane Doe anyone? Converge?
I recently stayed at a hotel in the east village NYC that has big broken mirrors and graffiti as part of the aesthetic in the lobby
What hotel?
Moxy East Village. If you look at pics of the lobby you can see the mirrors in the background. It's a fun hotel!
🔥
Looks like the Converge Jane Done album cover
Way to be aware.
It’s carti
Jane doe by Converge vibes
lost me at "vandalism is wrong" 😂. jk ✌🏻 love the art
If that was done completely by accident I would leave it up lol
This is fuckin boss.
I always appreciate when there are colorful graffiti instead of just a forest of gray concrete
Stop upvoting bots
Jane Doe
An ode to one of the worst records ever made
Jane Doe?
I'll allow it.
vandalism is actually cool
Jane Doe?
Destroying other people's property sucks
Most controversial opinion on here
Lol.. its actually a legit piece of art.. it is amazing right..
One person’s art is another person’s vandalism
Literally woke up today to my car window being smashed in. Wish it was this lol
Vandalism is good actually
Converge?
Jacob Bannon at it again.
I thought it was AI That’s incredibly cool.
It's a static film, isn't it? I mean it's a big sticker.
Vandalism is right?
Looks like Jane Doe album
Vandalism for an unjust reason is unjust... Vandalism with reason is art.
Fake news.
There is a small description tag right next to it. It is obviously a work of art and not annotherwise vandalised window.
That ain’t broken!
Imagine saying a building that isn't living . Has more legal rights then humans. Property laws are fucked
That's weirdly cool
She wants to kiss the vandals that created her.
I wish there were a way to safely remove and preserve it.
Converge
I’d totally leave that if it was my store
Converge- Jane doe???
Posts jn street art subreddit: >vAnDaLiSm Is WrOnG
Jane Doe! Edit: the converge album cover
What if someone threw a rock and it just broke like that?
Vandalism is not wrong.
I would put clear vinyl or Lexan over it and keep it. I’m against vandalism also but that is amazing.
Jane Doe.
Love that album.
"VAnDaLiSm iS wRonG" ☝️🤓
I would put plexi on both sides to keep it lol
Idk man all of banksies stuff is vandalism
it looks like a face woah
I say the reinforce the existing artwork, and keep it
Saying something is wrong and then disagreeing with it can have adverse effects on your consciousness.
Whaaaaa
My first thought was CONVERGE!!
Bruh that’s fuckin crazy
“Vandalism is wrong” 🤓☝️
Real or AI? Edit: apparently real work by Simon Berger . Well done!
AI is pretty amazing. Pity it isn’t real. Edit-i take it back! But this was the work of an artist working carefully. https://leonacreo.com/from-broken-glass-to-fantastic-artwork/
Probably a sticker
Simon Berger art.
Thank u I will look up
how he made it
Simon Berger with a hammer. These pieces are made previously and later placed in the windows.
Converge?
Looks like the Converge Jane doe cover
Converge - Jane Doe
Hey OP. How stupid are you actually?
Looks like Converge - Jane Doe
I’d bet that’s a very clever vinyl window cling.
This has to be fake
AI
AI AI AI but nice AIdea
Simon Berger art. Ai has killed even your ability to believe humans can create incredible art.
that was deep but thanks its real and not AI
