The Amazing Flyin’ Hammer Brother was my first acrylic piece and the first piece I got up in any sort of public area. I had used a few different paste recipes I had found online and managed to make something that worked decently well. The high from getting a piece up and driving past it was only curtailed by someone tagging over it a few weeks later.
I had a mixed bag of emotions with the defacement. Anger that someone put some really shitty doodles over it and elation that someone felt the need to fuck with it. It’s all part of the game and I think having it defaced so early helped me get over the hangups about this sort of stuff later on.
When I do acrylic pieces nowadays I generally make sure to get them up pretty high and out of reach of low effort tagging.
