Cuprocking: Am I the last to know about this?

Post by CoolBreeze »

It appears that "cuprocking" is growing around the world. Some see it as a deterrent to Graffiti, where spray paint costs millions of dollars to remove.

Fence stitching (or decorating chain-link type fences) was invented in 1873 around the time the chain link fence made a big appearance. Little known, it received a resurgence with Australian artist Andy Uprock in 2003 who coined the term 'Cuprocking' using plastic cups often painted to create a new street graffiti.

This is along the same lines as those pesky "Post It" graffiti loons.

My first thought was the "Post It" graffiti freaks as well.
