Hi Fi art

Drawings may be the graffiti that baffle me the most. Why showcase your art in a public restroom, for it to - almost literally - be shat all over? Do you really want to stay in there long enough to focus on the chiaroscuro shading?

Some NYU art student must have gotten shitty (sorry for the pun) and turned this one stall at Hi Fi into studio space. The first doodle is, literally, a masterpiece.


Look at the color and detail in the next picture. Maybe s/he always has black and sky blue paint pens on them, but it's still a very intense anteater, and not even close enough to the toilet to presume the artist was resting while sketching.

Might there be some Freudian meaning in the appearance of not one but two animals with trunks?
