The Moose

An attempt at graffiti with meaning.

Corporate Culture at Kinder Morgan

That’s me in the boardroom of the Kinder Morgan offices in North Vancouver. And that's an oil spill on my face.

I saw some funny things when I worked at Kinder Morgan. Not ha-ha-funny, though. Here are but a few examples of workplace “humour” at KM.

The second photo - “Safety, Quality, Environmental Excellence” - is merely unintentionally funny.

Photo three makes clear Kinder Morgan's Six Seven Core Principles, including, of course, commitment to Lip Service.

The fourth photo reveals Kinder Morgan's real desire: “their land.” (It’s funny ‘cause it’s true!)

Finally, the meme poster picturing an oil-covered bird on an oil-spilled beach is especially charming. The poor guy just wants to get out of there and go home. Oh wait. He is home and it’s covered in oil.

Disgusted by what you see? Check out more Kinder Morgan executives’ classy behaviour here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ayn2Q0GFkG0

you know Laos and Mr 8 personally?

Nope. And I'm not sure why I'd want to.

Also found this, pictured in the daytime here, before poor Laos, who is cut off at the bottom of this photo, joined the party with me, Mr. 8 and, presumably, an anarchist.

Thanks to kickpunch for the instagram picture.

Just found this on Statigram. Can't quite tell if it's the stencil I put in Victoria Park, or the one I put on 360 Glen, that back-alley punk-hipster-metal venue, which I love hanging out at but not actually going in.

Either way, thanks to trishbeb for the Instagrammage.

I'm pretty sure this photo was originally taken by Donna Labrador. After having her photo tumblred three times I think she deserves some actual credit. Here's her Instagram post of it, and here's the image post on her Twitter.

Also tumblred by A Tangled Vine in this post.

My original post of the two Gregors - the one pictured above and one I put on Vancouver City Hall - never got reblogged when I posted it months after doing them. But I did find this picture of the City Hall one on Breeonne Baxter's flickr soon after spraying it on.

I did this on my first night ever out stenciling the moose, about a year ago now. I haven't been back to see this one since, and I'm surprised it's still up.

Photo courtesy of cjimhow on Flickr. Well, not exactly "courtesy of". The rights were reserved on the image, but I was able to copy the thumbnail, which I think is fair game. I could have snipped the whole image full size, but I didn't. So keep that in mind, cjimhow, if you decide to sue me or something.

See, other people's photos are always better than mine. Click the photo, or here to see Craige13's instagram post of it.

Sorry, Kevin Krebs, I think I like Nevenafauxtoes's photo even better.

You really are an awful graffiti artist and you most likely should kill yourself.

Why would I kill myself when there's so much shitty graffiti to make fun of? I haven't received much hostile feedback, except from overly sensitive whiners like yourself. These socalled "writers" are real pussies, getting all offended at the slightest bit of teasing.

Why not - if you're going to break the law and put, ahem, art up in public - do something half-way interesting? Instead of, you know, a bunch of illegible bubble letters. Too concerned with perfecting their "dope handstyles" and getting as many "ups" as possible, or whatever the stupid graffito lingo is.

Sorry if my little stencils offend or annoy you, cbowmcdizle - if that is your real name, which it might be, since it sounds as moronic as you do. You don't have to "follow" me if you don't want to.

And thanks for the message!
