It always bothers me so much how someone who "allegedly" committed a crime can have his photo and full name published in the newspaper in the US.

    It is not clear yet exactly how detectives traced Ballengee down before making the arrest

    Jesus Christ it's not that complicated, you just find the man with the penis

    You laugh now, but it's expected in phase 7 of the MCU.

    Let me guess, they tracked his phone's GPS.

    Back in April I snapped this photo at a strip mall in Tempe, near Broadway & Mill Ave:

    "PENIS MAN" crudely spray painted onto blank store signage in a mostly abandoned strip mall in Tempe, AZ

    Didn't think too much about it after that, but I'm glad his handiwork was intriguing and well-known enough that that I can have some closure.

    The people who get angry over graffiti are so weird. I feel like being in a city with no graffiti anywhere would feel really weird and unsettling

    I go either way since graffiti can range between beautiful works of art and some douchebag tagging his local 'crew' name on my neighbors fence.

    This one is amusing and definitely gets a pass from me though.

    If it’s artistic, sure. Even if it said “penis man” in an artful way. But this is as close to art as a adult still drawing stick figures. It’s almost embarrassing we don’t have better vandals in the neighborhood.

    In some respects the art is in the act itself, in the rebellion, in defiance, in the declaration that "I was here." Even something as simple as a tag scrawled on a wall that seems illegible to the uninitiated but actually contains complex letterforms like Philly's wickets, or even the simplicity from the great Cornbread himself.

    In some ways Penis Man here is more of an artist IMO than anyone who only paints legally, even Sofles level murals.

    And he went back over the buff too, props to Penis Man.

    It’s a weird thing I see some amazing graffiti here and there. My city actually pays for and has a competition for it…….. but like 99% of it it’s gang tags and neo Nazi’s sadly

    I stayed in downtown Denver and right across the street from my hotel where I'd go to catch the bus somebody wrote in sharpie on an electrical box

    MY YAMMY IS IN FLORIDE DUH

    It was one of the highlights of my trip and I hope it's still there if I ever make it there again

    Edit: found a picture

    He should have written exclusively with a writing utensil from https://penisland.net/ (surprisingly SFW)
