A resident of Tula told a story about how, seven years ago, he tried to impress a girl from Arkhangelsk using graffiti with her favorite game characters. Through the Internet, he found a local artist who agreed to draw the hedgehog Sonic and the dragon Spyro on the wall of her house.

A few years ago I was in love with a girl from Arkhangelsk, they corresponded very long and sweetly, played NES emulator over the network, and exchanged cool gifts for the holidays. Then I got ready for vacation and waved for 1000 km.

Spent a wonderful week there, was fascinated by the girl and the Russian north. Were on the White Sea, made pizza, went to the cinema, suddenly visited a rock festival, where there was one of the last concerts of Kish, and the headliners were awesome Tanzwut.

But, alas, a happy ending did not work, and I was offered to remain friends. He left for Tula with a broken heart. But decided not to give up. I wanted to surprise with something and show once again that intentions and feelings were the most serious. And I came up with.

The girl as a child enthusiastically played the Sega in Sonic, and later, on ps1, in Spyro. And I wanted graffiti with them to appear on her house. He even came up with a little cute poem in the manner of roses are red, violets are blue.

I began the search for a graffiti artist in Arkhangelsk, not knowing there, except her, not a single person. I found a dead group of local bombers in VK, wrote to several people, and one of them agreed! I sent him money, drawings, and a rhyme and held his breath – would he fool me?

But the dude turned out to be reliable – he stocked up with balloons, took a STEMPYANKA (as he said, to draw higher so that the hooligans would not ruin the drawing in the early days), and set off on a white night, at 4 in the morning, to draw. All succeeded! The drawing was very large, the size of a slab of a panel 9-story building.

“Spyro is violet, Sonic is blue
I want to use my extra-life
And be your player two. “

“Spiro is purple and Sonic is blue.
I want to use my extra life
To play with you. “
The girl was moved, but the author failed to achieve reciprocity. Even after so many years, a drawing still adorns one of the houses in Arkhangelsk and even ended up in the 2GIS directory.
I was incredibly pleased to have undergone such an operation, but my heart remained broken. The girl, of course, was touched, but – this graffiti did not change anything. After 5 years, my friend went to Arkhangelsk, and I asked him to take a picture of that wall.

For 5 years in the Arkhangelsk ghetto no one touched the drawing! Tags were added on the sides, but the graffiti itself was the same! Today I again decided to remember him, and climbed into Google – suddenly someone posted a new photo? There was no photo, but there was this:

Twitter users called this story very moving and romantic. Some believe that it is worthy of a film adaptation or at least one more graffiti.
