Stumbled on an interesting new/old art happening! Art is showing up on walls, buildings, street signs, not graffiti that gangs use to establish their turf but art with a message done in the old style of posters put up with wheat paste! Fly Posting...where in the cover of darkness small groups of anarchist artists slap on the wheat paste (used for putting up wall paper) and slap on an iconic poster. The themes are reminiscence of the antiwar movement of the 60's and of course to messages are the same. War is bad! Save the Earth! Save us for our greedy self!
I find it all thrilling and sad that we're still fighting the same issues...when will we finally run out of time to save ourselves?
Check out this upcoming artist: Shepard Fairey/ Obey
