Moustache Man Arrested by NYPD, by Deleted on Jun 28, 2011 15:09:17 GMT 1, The repression never ends...
I think those people living in countries such as North Korea, China, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia etc may have something to say about your use of the word 'repression'.
He got caught for doing something the authorities deem illegal, and in the whole scheme of things actually isn't that ground breaking. Funny? maybe, but not exactly worth getting worked up about.

Moustache Man Arrested by NYPD, by murdock on Jun 28, 2011 15:35:48 GMT 1, You're right Sean, but still, it's a shame that these "vandals" are treated the same way as muggers or worse. I'm not at all into tagging or bombing and find no pleasure in seeing the subway and every other wall scrawled on, but I think MM is clearly on one side of the line.
I also just found an article about Poster Boy
www.artinfo.com/news/story/30289/new-york-police-arrest-poster-boy-maybe/
Pretty much the same story, I guess.

Probably nothing, because it will always be worse somewhere else. If you really care about the core, you would have some respect for every single individual that has the balls to step outside say enough with the insidious bullshit in their lives. If art is just about art, you're fucked.

I agree Saint. Anything else posted in this forum just pails into insignificance.

Moustache Man Arrested by NYPD, by alivefromnewyork on Sept 15, 2012 17:45:04 GMT 1, hey dudes, bumping this thread up to reveal that Moustache Man is a longtime (well, maybe not that long) UAA member! And I'm telling my story in a one-man show at UCB Theatre in New York. So if we've got any New Yorkers in the house, come check it out this Wednesday, Sept 19th! If you're into graffiti and you're down for a laugh, it's worth the $5.
More info here:

I second that !! I would add Princess Hijab to the list (considering the fact she always claimed that there is nothing politicial in her guerrilla art, just art) - www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/rare-interview-with-urban-artist-princess-hijab-2297761.html

Moustache Man Arrested by NYPD, by Deleted on Sept 17, 2012 8:58:23 GMT 1, Not a single article found about his arrestation in past week, nor past month... MM was arrested in 2011 not 2012 !!!
And yes Zara brand stole his moustache idea - www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/04/zara-rip-off-patrick-waldo-moustache-street-_n_1855486.html
And he has indeed an exhition at UCB soon... so I wonder about this fake arrestation buzz...

Moustache Man Arrested by NYPD, by Cedric Mnich on Sept 17, 2012 9:07:38 GMT 1, " Police say that Waldo's recent online bragging helped them catch him after "a two-month long investigation." He has been charged with felony criminal mischief and other counts. "
I think NYPD has waaaay too much time to spend. On the other end, no one won't even care about Zara stealing his idea.

Moustache Man Arrested by NYPD, by Wearology on Sept 20, 2012 12:44:00 GMT 1, One of our more infamous forum members "alivefromnewyork" did a one man stand up routine in NYC last night that focused on his experience as a graffiti artist known as "Moustache Man" and the ramifications on his subsequent arrest. The show was absolutely hilarious and I recommend it to anyone that either lives in the NY metro area or is just visiting town. After the show, I had the pleasure of meeting "Patrick" and he was extremely nice and approachable. He was nice enough to stache up one of my favorite pieces of art from another forum member artist "Agent Provocateur" called "Let Them Eat Kate". Patrick informed me that several forum members have been sorted out with their request to obtain some of his art for their collections as well. Thanks "alivefromnewyork" for being so generous !!!!!
