Yet another prankster has been posting quirky stickers on ads in the subway. Roberta Thorn, whom I believe is the artist behind this work, has countless photos of stickers in the same style as this one on her Flickr. The majority of these seem to include bits of commentary on the art world, but some also have a more political flavor.

It seems we have covered her handiwork before, unknowingly. Her repertoire includes subway ad alterations, fun graffiti and a whole lot more. She definitely seems to be one to watch.

Block Head

Monday, April 26th, 2010 | Author: Jowy

I originally thought these lego man heads were taken from other ads, but it has become clear that they are coming from somewhere else. It’s not clear whether they are being put there by some guerilla marketer or some street artist, but for now I will dub them Block Head. If someone knows something more about this, please contact me!
