    In reply to Is Poster Boy Still Good in a Gallery?
    Hey now, some street artists do amazing gallery shows... Poster Boy just doesn't happen to be one of them.


    Moreover, can I just say how much it bugs me that his name is "Poster Boy"? I mean, really? What if Futura had called himself "Spraypaint Dude." He'd be exactly as famous as PB deserves to be, that is to say not very.

    I loathe the faux-legitimacy of so-called 'street art.' Graffiti artists think they're so rebellious but they're all just after the same shit as all the others.

    [snarky comment about how the contemporary art world sucks thanks to making good street artists go bad once they become "insiders"]

    looks like the same empty pseudo-political faux-intellectual posturing by every other "street artist turned gallery artist"

    The first was done by a girl. I passed her on the way to the L train while she was making it. Neither of the bystanders were Poster Boy, either... unfortunately.

    Poster Boy is also a knockoff. He just steals other people's shit and haphazardly dashes it all together again presenting it as his own. What's the word for it? Oh yeah - blogging.

    Let me see the biceps of whoever did this. That will tell us for sure.


    But seriously, Poster Boy's real work looks a bit like it was created by someone whose synapses aren't working correctly. And I mean that as a compliment. This looks like the work of someone who knows all too well what they were doing. There's a good chance it could've been my mother.

    I’m waiting for the kind of play that changes the title of the first one to something like FELICITY. The joke is otherwise just way too obvious.

    Or maybe MOMA angrily firing its advertiser gets loads of free press, and is the end of a genius ad campaign. Or should I take off my tinfoil hat?

    I would like to slice the Ham from the No and splice in an "i" sound. My brain-tongue does not transition well from the M to the N. So, Ham-i-No, like Domino.


    Good, now we can move on to bigger things, like stamping a HUGE AAA on the side of the MOMA building, or stuffing a gigantic golden butt plug into the Holland Tunnel from the New Jersey side.

    that's not exactly a poster-boy-style mashup is it? I mean... the fred & wilma hair were clearly drawn onto the ad (unless they were taken from some other ad?) .. I thought he only mixes up shit taken from ads themselves?

    X-Actomundo! I did, but I thought it was a typo because the rest of the piece refers to Poster Boy in the singular. And now I'm as mixed-up as a subway ad.
