Getting a Head

Hello ladies.

Harry, you are looking rather bloated today.

…THE DARK.

This Subway Art Can Make Your Life Happier than Any Other

I spotted this little pixelated banana man at Greenpoint Avenue on the G the other day. What I find really astonishing is that this was completely handmade with a razor and colored tape. (see detail below) Update: I should have known, this was made by Poster Boy.

If you are not familiar with this particular internet meme, you can watch the original video after the jump. more »

Poster Boy Wuz Here

A few weeks ago we posted about a Mac and Cheese ad that someone wrote on. It just so happens Poster Boy got to the same ad after us and used it for his latest piece. What an honor! My tummy hurts from the all the butterflies.

Ad Mashup Targets Abramovic

This one appears the work of Poster Boy, or at least someone part of his movement. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time he has targeted a MoMa advertisement. Thanks to Halston for the tip!

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.
