29 pieces of band graffiti on AP’s office walls you have to see to believe
As if you didn’t already suspect as much, working at AP isn’t like a normal job. We frequently have rockers of all shapes, sizes, genders and genres wandering our halls, and with a few well-placed Sharpie depositories, we encourage them to graffiti up our walls. Here is just a small portion of what we have to look at every day, from the good to the bad to the very, very ugly (and phallic).
