Video: Street art by Buff Diss: masking tape drawings

Buff Diss is a street artist from Melbourne. Several years ago, he decided that he no longer wanted to paint the city walls with spray cans, but he still could not leave the graffiti for good. And the author found a way out: his drawings still appear on the walls, but Buff Diss now uses masking tape to create them.
Masking tape images are a great alternative for those who cannot imagine their life without street art and do not want to have problems with the law. Buff Diss says that the reaction of the authorities to his works is a separate story: representatives of the law simply do not know how to react to an artist's work when they understand that any of his images can be peeled off in a few minutes without damaging the surface at all.
Buff Diss is quite picky about the choice of places for creativity. According to him, most of all he loves abandoned premises: it is here that he gets new ideas, and dilapidated houses turn into a kind of street art galleries. “Abandoned buildings are like a thorn in the eye for some people, but at the same time they are incredible canvases for others,” the artist says. Buff Diss believes that street artists are endowed with a special talent: they can look into the very soul of the city and bring to the surface many exciting stories that are reliably hidden from others.
“I can spend the rest of my life finding abandoned premises and leaving my work there,” says Buff Diss. He likes that during his work there is a tactile interaction with architecture, and, according to the artist, the longer he works, the better he understands the "language" of rooms and walls: the author no longer just sticks adhesive tape on the surface, he leads with architectural structures a real conversation.
