This mural was created inside the Broadway Tunnel in San Francisco by British-based artist Paul Curtis using a technique called reverse graffiti or clean tagging. With the aid of San Francisco police and public works officials, Curtis spent the night blasting away at the years of grime with a high-powered water cannon.

This is a nice example of otherwise dead space being transformed into something enjoyable. Tide Detergent used this effect on sidewalks recently to demonstrate their cleaning power in everyday life.

Here's a link to more photos of this mural Flickr.
