Is this the work of an urban guerilla?

Looks like much more fun than the usual symbol, as seen here:

We should take up that symbol and start spreading around our cities

I plead not guilty to this one.🤪

@DJR I will 'see' your not-guilty, and 'raise' you my double not-guilty 😇

I have done some, but mine are always eco friendly and not permanent.

This pangolin stencil was done in charcoal dust on the steps leading to the Great Hall at Wits, dodging security guards, shortly before a graduation ceremony. Two hours later, after a few thousand feet walked over it, it was nearly gone ........ exactly like WE are the reason the real pangolin is disappearing! 

Now I am inspired to do a bike related guerilla job .........

This is a little stencil I did a while ago ...... perhaps it should be spread about the Cape a little bit? Perhaps in a reverse-grafitty form? Where you "clean" the image on a dirty concrete wall or path ?

...when 'going guerilla', I find one or two HI VIZ bibs SHOWS everyone you are 'legit', and they should keep the hell away, and let you continue whatever 'maintenance' job you are busy with...😉

...Hi Viz bibs also worked for the Louvre gang!!!

[DJR]

There is another "guerilla" way, where you sneak an artwork INTO a museum and sneakily hang it between all the famous artworks ......... who knows, I may even develop the cahones to do it at the Louvre one day? (Famously/infamously the 1st guy to do that was Marcel Duchamp, who sneaked a urinal into a gallery in Paris and called it a "fountain" in 1917.)

(I dislike the Louvre, even though I know it is the greatest art museum on earth. And I'm sorry to say, but I think they deserve what they got in the recent robbery. The last time I was there, they allowed 30 000 people in per day. Even with skip-the-line timed tickets, the entry still took 2 hours because their amazing security made EVERYONE go through a single metal detector gate. The poor security guards were so gatvol of every 2nd person triggering the alarm, that they basically just ignored it. You could have sneaked in with a big fat angle grinder in your pocket and they would have just waved you through. I got so frustrated, I should have just left, hired a ladder and an angle grinder and entered through an upstairs window........)

A whole bunch between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay would be amazing
