BAD GRAFFITI is a photo series documenting the abundance of hilariously terrible one-off tags that could be found around Detroit for years. Focused on the seven-year period between 2007 and 2014, the series collects images of vulgar, juvenile, poorly scrawled, misspelled, dumb, ridiculous, and sometimes spectacularly “bad” graffiti. The antithesis of universally praised “good” graffiti, the Bad Graf project is dedicated to the drunken dudes who mindlessly paint giant penises on whatever walls they encounter. Though still an ongoing photo project, the proliferation of bad graffiti was effectively halted once the city began enforcing blight violation codes in 2015.
