When people cover up graffiti, they’re rarely returning it to its previous state and most often creating a whole new image.  I like what is created as an unintended collaboration with the “creator” and the “concealer”.  It sometimes makes for some dynamic minimalist shit if you look for it.  For some of them, Mark Rothko comes to my mind.
