Vandalism
Graffiti doesn’t seem to be a very big problem in Seattle, so I was more than a little surprised the first time I spotted this van (pictured above) parked on a quiet residential street on Beacon Hill. At second glance, it became clear the graffiti artist behind this striking sight was also the van’s owner. Ordinarily, I have no interest in vandalizing other people’s property, but don’t you think it would be amusing to buy some spray paint and turn the picture above into the one below? 
I’d love to see the owner’s face when they walked out and saw their vandalized van.
Alas, ethical considerations get in the way of such fun. Cursed ethics.
I like your reverse vandalism picture. Did you do that with GIMP? I’ve been playing around with it myself …

Yes, I used the GIMP.
As for your own GIMP tricks, very nicely done
. I probably wouldn’t even have noticed the hand-repainting of the cable over the monitor had I not already known that you monkeyed with the photo.
