"New York Street Advertising Takeover" Brings Art to Over 120 Illegal Billboards in NYC

Photo nicked from here.

Jordan Seiler's incrediblely ambitious "New York Street Advertising Takeover" became a reality yesterday, when over 120 illegal billboards throughout the city were white washed by dozens of volunteers.

NYSAT was organized as a reaction to the hundreds of billboards that are not registered with the city, and therefore are illegal. While illegal, these violations are not being prosecuted by the City of New York, allowing the billboard companies to garner huge profits by cluttering our outdoor space with intrusive and ugly ads.

After the illegal spots were white washed, late in the day Saturday over eighty artists transformed these spaces into personal pieces of art.

D*Face Billboard at G20 Summit in London

British artist D*Face is back at it with the billboard pranks. This time around he puts up a digital piece, in essence, defacing the Queen. Doing it at the G20 Summit adds a load of more credibility to his name, as if he didn’t have enough to begin with. There is speculation that he paid for this piece rather than “hack” it, but we’ll probably never know.

Even the rich folks in England love street art, but it's not Banksy

An 18-year-old brit living about 2 hours outside of London had secretly painted a 60′ long drawing of a penis on the roof of his parents’ £1 million mansion in Berkshire. The 60 foot penis had been there over a year before his parents finally found out. The parents were not amused and have stated that their son will have to scrub it off when he gets back from traveling the world finding himself.

I don't even know what to say I'm laughing to hard.
