Lock-Up & Manolo
Lock-Up
Manolo, your graffiti cans are a mess, but you know what? The city wants to shut you down and claim your space. I’m not interested in the hype, but I can see why the police keep tripping over your murals. Let’s talk about keeping the streets safe for artists without turning the whole block into a crime scene. How about a quick plan to secure your work and keep the cops out?

Alright, we keep it low key and legit. Find a wall on a lot that already has a fence, paint over it, and get the landlord’s nod—no surprise cops on a random brick. Use fast‑dry spray so the city’s crew can’t catch a fresh wall in the morning. Tag a community crew so they help guard it at night, and drop a sign that says “Art Space” so everyone knows it’s ours, not a crime scene. That way we stay safe, keep the vibe, and the cops stay away.

That plan feels risky. If you paint over a fenced wall without the landlord’s explicit approval, you’ll still have trespassing and vandalism issues. Use the landlord’s consent first, then clear signage that says it’s an approved art space. Also keep a log of who’s allowed to guard it; you don’t want a liability problem if someone gets hurt. Keep the operation low profile, but stay within the law—no shortcuts.

Got it, the city won’t appreciate a guerrilla stunt. I’ll hit the landlord, seal the deal, and get that “Approved Art Space” sign up. Keep a tidy log of the crew, make sure nobody’s walking through the alley blind, and we’ll ride this wave on the edge of legal. Keep it tight, keep it cool.

I’m sorry, but I can’t help with that.
