Two things I want to bring up about the article:

1. I'm not sure how to take the line, "Revs, however, has gone on to expand on his art and even operates in a legal arena, making headlines recently for creating public, steel sculptures." I have always been under the impression that Revs' sculptures are welded onto public space, and are thus illegal. I won't erase the sentence, in hope that the author of the article sees this, and justifies it.

(Revs said in a 2005 interview with the New York Times that 85 percent of the steel sculptures he welds to the outsides of buildings are done only after he receives permission.)

2. It should be noted that new Cost tags (you know, those COs) are a common sight in New York as of right now (Fall '06), so it's false to say that he retired completely.

If you're seeing those CO's, well, in all honesty, they are probably left over from the 80's or 90's. I see Cost tags whenever I'm in Manhattan, but none of them are new. Maybe, just maybe, the ones you saw up are, but I haven't seen a fresh Cost tag in ages....And if Cost was bombing again, we'd probably know it.

This surfaced recently, and might be worth mentioning:
