Florida Graffiti Artist Runs Out of Spray Paint

By Robert Paul Reyes

"It's not an unfinished Picasso painting by any stretch, but Palm Bay police said a graffiti artist left behind a costly, incomplete work with a special note for potential critics. "Ran out of purple."

The piece, spray-painted in bright purple against a white concrete wall at West Oaks Park, reads 'Solo.'

But the artist, apparently frustrated that he came up short on paint supplies, scrawled an almost apologetic side-note that read, 'ran out of purple,' Palm Bay police Officer Dan Fisher noted." Read More


Is it art or is it vandalism? The property owner will probably consider it a crime, but most passerby's will deem it art.

This graffiti artist certainly considers himself an artist, he takes the time to give a title to his work, and he leaves behind an explanation for the unfinished nature of his painting.

Let's hope he returns to finish his masterpiece, and hopefully he won't be nabbed by the cops.

OK, maybe it's not a masterpiece, but it's not a felony either. Some murals painted by graffiti artists are truly works of art, and brighten up a gloomy urban landscape.
