I love this story. This “graffiti artist”, Poster Boy, took his very limitation – no money to buy supplies – and from that limitation established his art form. I think there is a lesson there for everyone who works in a creative field. Often, when presented with a blank sheet, a huge budget, and to deadline, the result is stasis, wheels spinning and gears churning, but no true progress. Meanwhile, when faced with limited resources and a hard deadline, so often the result is inspired (though not always polished) work.

You can debate whether Poster Boy is defacing property or committing a crime, but you cannot argue that his work is creative, funny, and thought provoking. The fact that his only tool is a razor blade makes it all the more remarkable.
