Chopped Up Remixed Mashed Up Subway Star Wars Posters
Subway’s billboard ads are boring most of the time, maybe I’m just ad blind but Jeff Simmermon saw this Star Wars advertisement that a creative vandal had mashed up with bits from a beer ad and a poster for a Takashi Murakami exhibit.
Those great big billboard ads you see on the subway are nothing but giant peel-and-stick Coloforms, really. I love the accidental collages you see when people randomly pick and peel those thing like they’re great big scabs, and I just knew it was a matter of time before someone started making art out of them.
Then I saw this ad for Star Wars that had been chopped and remixed with bits from a beer ad and a poster for a Takashi Murakami exhibit and I heard a horde of angels singing a song titled “Shit Yeah!â€:
There is also an interesting mashed up gold-bikini Princess Leia with Iron Man on his blog. [via iamnotlying]
