If you’re supposed to call a doctor if you have one for 4 or more hours, that building is beyond medical intervention.

The people on here cum themselves over Boner4ever, but absolutely lose their shit at other graffiti are funny to me. It’s like they can only handle vaguely transgressive shit if it is packaged in Reddit tier humor.

This is a good article except it wasn't painted in 2008. Too many of my friends remember the "Boner4Ever building" and they left Philly prior to 08

4ever is a phila graff king that used to write Kid. Boner is an nyc writer that came here and hit dam near every wall in the city. They linked up and did the rollers on the building. Not a whole lot of lore behind it. They've done lots of spots together.
