Jake Anderson likes to hang around in seedy bathrooms, but it's not as creepy as it sounds. Anderson finds and traces awesome examples of bathroom graffiti before it is cleaned off or painted over by business owners, preserving the art for others to see. He then takes the traced artwork and turns it over to artists who transform the pieces into new works of art, a very smart way to turn one man's eyesore into a beautiful (and profitable) piece.
Anderson recently launched the "Off the Stall" project on Kickstarter to turn his interest in bathroom graffiti into a book. His goal was to extend his hobby beyond Massachusetts to document the best bathroom graffiti in the world. He only needed $3500 from the crowdfunding community to convince his private investor that there is a demand for the book, and with four days left he already has more than he needs.
