So I was walking around the internet today, and I saw this fantastic piece of art someone had scribbled on the wall. Perfectly subtle, yet strangely compelling.

It was odd though: only about 4% of my fellow web-destrians were inclined to stop and wonder at this beauty.

I think the real lessen here is that Tuymans is a lousy street artist. He could only get 4% of passersby to pause for even a moment!

I've seen a lot of very interesting graffiti out there, some of it thoughtful, sublime, grandiose, etc. But most street art that gets my attention is at least colorful enough to register against its background. Grayscale art on concrete? How would I ever notice that when rushing down the street?
