Reverse Graffiti

Speaking of graffiti and inspiration anywhere reminded me of this video I saw; graffiti has a bad reputation, but this "graffiti" made me smile (and kind of want to go see it)...
A quote from their site:
"Reverse graffiti is an environmentally friendly way of graffiti, which is made by using a strong gush of water or sand and it does not cause damage to objects, in this case – the walls of buildings. They are literally being just washed,leaving behind a beautiful flower and butterfly shape designs. And yes – we are proud to say that we did this!"

Cool idea! Big thanks to Sushmita Meka (http://www.openideo.com/profiles/sushmita/) for linking it to my idea about 'knit graffiti' and how we could create a competition to trigger more of these activities in the cities we live in. See more here:

Would be cool to have a separate category in such a competition for 'reverse graffiti'. What do you say?
