Stenciled on the sidewalk in Central Square: It won't be like this all the time

A roving UHub photographer reports somebody's been stenciling this message on sidewalks all over Central Square in Cambridge, adds:

I don’t know who, but they’re so awesome and I wish I could thank the artist!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :-) Actually, I kind of like it.

If not, I'll call them Captain Obvious.

But, whatever.

It won/t be like this all the time. But, whatever.

This sort of thing is fairly temporary and goes back to the most ancient times in which people could write.

I seem to recall in your halcyon good old days that nobody gave a flying fuck about it, like, ever. It was the 1990s before any efforts to clean things up came about.

If anyone gave a "flying fuck" or not. I do know what it was called, and it wasn't art.

Nor do I. There are far worse things for you to grumble about.

For want of a nail . . .

I paint what I see.

Where is that rule written?
If I paint some slogan in front of someones house and call it art , I bet there would be disagreements. One person's art is another person's graffiti

It is way better than those public murals, and doesn't last nearly as long.

I leave it behind
My words are my by-line
But I want you to see
It's me, me, me
But you know I fear jail time

It says a little something that y’all think this is a positive message.

You could thank the artist dude's attitude with gratitude for the platitude.

I saw one of these in Soho Square in London last winter, where it was a much more depressing statement than it would be in Central. Sorry, Cambridge.

By Bill_D on Sun, 06/16/2019 - 8:06am.

Yeah. Can't decide if I'm supposed to read this as a pep talk or a threat.

By anon on Sat, 06/15/2019 - 11:12pm.

Chalk, okay. Paint, not okay.

This is all good fun until, it ends up on the hood of your car or the side of your house.
