# Street Poop Art NYC Sprinkle Brigade By Ben Preiss | Published 2007-10-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprinkle-brigade-making-poop-art-on-the-streets-of-new-york References: [joshspear](http://www.joshspear.com/item/the-sprinkle-brigade/) & [sprinklebrigade](http://sprinklebrigade.com/) Why go to the trouble of scooping up [dog poo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pick-up-your-poop), especially if it doesn't belong to your dog? Well, if you live in NYC, you won't have to anymore; just call the Sprinkle Brigade! They'll zip down in the Turdmobile (I'm guessing) and turn the offending turds into [street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding) of the kind that sophisticated New Yorkers have come to appreciate. This is where [graffiti art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti) was 20 years ago, 20 years from now artists will have to push very hard (and eat a lot of fiber) to produce this quality of poop art. So, don't see poop as a problem to be tossed away, see the art in crap, after all so much art is... crap. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 93% | Activity: 99% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Graffiti](https://www.trendhunter.com/graffiti) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Poop Art:** High demand for dynamic, creative graffiti art designers who specialize in poop. - **Community Sanitation:** Opportunity to innovate and improve community sanitation systems to accommodate the needs of urban pet owners. - **Artistic Waste Management:** New creative waste management solutions will become popular and a way to create unique art installations. ### Who This Affects Most - **Waste Management:** Innovative waste management companies can collaborate with artists to create unique art installations. - **Pet Care:** Pet care companies can create new products and services to help pet owners manage their pet's waste in urban settings. - **Art and Design:** Art and design companies can push the boundaries of creativity with new mediums such as poop art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Artful Elevated Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doggy-bathroom-1.md) - [Waste-Activated Digital Trees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lit-by-sht.md) - [Poop-Themed Game Day Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poop-on-super-bowel-monday.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Pollution-Removing Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/this-campaign-sucks.md) - [Street Art-Style Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-plug.md) - [Crowdsourced Restroom Code Maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/restroom-code-maps.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md)
