Paid $40 for a stencil of that 'Girl with the Pearl Earring' mocking Trump and it got ripped off a wall in 2 days.

Bought it from a guy on Etsy who swore it was weatherproof but the rain melted the spray adhesive and some old guy probably thought it was real graffiti and peeled it off, anyone else waste money on street art that didn't last?

Wait, was it actually a $40 stencil or was it a print that was supposed to look like street art? Stencils are usually cut by hand from plastic or cardstock, not printed on adhesive paper that melts in rain.

That 40 bucks would've lasted longer as sandwich money.

That stencil art is always a gamble, especially with people who think they're cleaning up the neighborhood. Guess the lesson is that $40 street art comes with a two-day warranty at best.
