When you view Buff Diss’s work you are immediately struck by the clean perfection of the lines and his approach of the street as part of his canvas. Based in Melbourne, Australia, the artist displays an appreciation of the city's architecture, often using the obstacles and shapes of the streets to his advantage. In this age of street artists, it is good to see an artist that brings something fresh to the streets. Often times, Buff is confronted by an authoritative figure when placing a new piece but soon counters their claim of vandalism by pointing out that the tape is easily removable. Whether it’s a piece sparking legal argument or a well-placed tape painting to be appreciated by the public, I can tell you that each piece is carefully placed in the streets. Regardless of your side of the debate, it's impossible to deny the ingenuity of his work.

I personally enjoy Buff's work, because his pieces are aided by this loophole of easy removal. His work almost seems to escape the long arm of the law due to the lack of official jurisdiction in this branch of street art.
