It's been forty-something years since the birth of graffiti and street art culture and the majority of people still doesn't accept it as a legit art form that has it's place in urban environment. Politicians see it as an easy target to bark on before campaigns to get some easy points (anti-graffiti laws worldwide). Anti-graffiti companies pull out enormous money from the budget buffing everything they find on their patrols whether it's a simple tag or a big mural (see buffing of MSK mural on private property in LA). Advertising companies and corporations rape the whole culture using it in ads 'cause they think they can build a trendy image in youth's eye (coca-cola commercial with the parkour guys painting "graffiti" on a train). On other side, the cities are polluted with billboards, posters, ads and other shit that no one finds annoying, or even if does, they can't do anything 'cause there is some serious money in the business. The solution? Disguise art as advertisement and enjoy :) Of course, it's just a joke that resulted a series of stickers and posters you can see above. It's just a little selection of my personal favorites, but stay tuned 'cause more propaganda is coming soon!
