Would this p*ss you off if....

...your ad, beautifully art directed, hours of slogging, genius concept, tons of money, all got razored away and copy and pasted about. Or would you see it as a form of flattery if you knew it was done by Poster Boy?

Poster Boy, compared to the likes of Banksy, takes ads on the NY Subways, cuts them apart and reforms them using just a razor and the stickiness of the Vinyl. His reformed images are often comical and sometimes have a political front. Take a look...












Im guessing a book will soon follow. check more of his stuff on http://www.flickr.com/photos/26296445@N05

Poster boy is pretty sweet.

As for crits - our is both scamps, scribbles, fully mac'd up work - sometimes a mixture. Colour drawings, black and white sketches, comps, actual shoots, it's kinda just the way it is.

Our mantra - what ever is easiest way to get the idea across, making it look the best it can in the shortest amount of time.
