FREE BORF!

and RIP MYER

[Herr Professor Doktor Doom]

has anyone noticed that for months DCist has been cleverly using Borf for free publicity?   You do a google search for Borf, and it inevitably takes you to DCist.

get a can of spray paint and continue the legacy.
 if you get bored, try "cool disco dan".

Wash. Post tells the whole sad story in an article WAYYY to long to reprint here.  Borf's been dead for a few years, he's an old friend of the tagger, and it's the dead friend's picture that appeared everywhere...his charges are only misdemeanors at this point:  a quote from DC's beauracracy:  "Citizen's are ecstatic about him being caught."  Yeah, I feel so much safer knowing he's in custody.  WTF.  
 
 The kid deserves a metal; his portfolio of work is wonderful.  Someone in the art world, please, give this kid a job! Now I have a crush on Borf's best friend.

What is sad about it?
 
 The fact that he lives with his mom in a multi-million dollar home next to Riverbend Country Club?
 
 The fact that he spent the spring touring Europe?
 
 Or the fact that he may actually believe that he is an "anarchist" and not just another bored and spoiled rich kid?

[sonickteam2]

i agree with ggw.
 
   sounds like a real sad story.   :roll:

get a grip

What surprises me are the people in my office that don't know who he is.  His work is plastered in fairly open space.  Do people just not notice what's going on around them?

[markie]

I wouldn't have known or cared if it were not for this board.
 
 I think he deserves a metal.

[thirsty moore]

I'm surprised you didn't notice his stuff on 18th St. buildings.

I did after it had been posted here. I am not sure the one near Lulu's work actually has any text....
