Ecological ____________, or gurilla gardening?

Gurilla gardening is something of a form of _________ that isn’t quite as offensive as torture. It is very unlikely I will get in trouble, but the long term effects of invasive species on this little island are indeterminable.

I once read the term “invasive species” called “ecological ________” (for the purposes of this blog, and maybe website….in the future I will not say this word, but will allude to it) by Chuck Palahniuk in Survivor when he spoke about the Starling and how it multiplied in the North America after it was brought over by a man that said “everything that Shakespeare said there would be in the new world was. While I can’t cite this, Chuck said it, so I believe him.

The Simpson’s did an episode where Bart brings an American Bull frog to Australia and it starts multiplying like crazy. This makes little sense as Bart only brought one, but it does justice to a peculiar theory around how humans multiply as an invasive species on Earth. However that’s another blog for another pen name and another time.

The point of this blog is that all forms of graffiti are productive in one way or another. Showing communal ownership by painting our walls with art, and planting flowers are productive ways to influence individual thought.

These are my little communal art projects for the neighbors to see.
