PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia is known as the mural capital of the world, but the city also has a strong culture and history of graffiti. Whether you like or hate the illegal street art, one artist is developing quite a reputation for his work.
That would be the man behind ShamCow, whose black and white spotted graffiti tag has been popping up all over Philadelphia, especially in the East Falls and Wissahickon sections of the city. CBS News Philadelphia blurred his face and disguised his voice while filming at an undisclosed location to protect his identity.
“Ultimately, ShamCow was just a funny thing, and I was interested to see the effect it was going to have,” said the artist, while describing how he came up with the idea and design for the tag.
