Bearing over-sized sponges and large stencils, True/False fans are decorating the town with a new kind of graffiti – mud.
Blending the lines of activism and art, visual artist Jesse Graves, 22, popularized the environmentally friendly way of spreading street messages. Both he and his professor, Nicolas Lampert, hail from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Mud stenciling isn’t only for the art savvy, though. James Miska, singer and banjo player for Bramble, says that even though his painting skills aren’t on par, he wanted to partake in the painting.
The stencils can be seen on the sidewalk on East Broadway near Firestone Baars Chapel and on the side of a building to the left of Ragtag Cinema. Keep your eye out for more to come.
More information about mud stenciling can be found on Graves’ website at www.mudstencils.com.

Bramble singer and banjo player, James Miska, uses a mix of potting soil and water to paint grass on a wall.
