The primary purpose of the NPA ads were to blanket NYC as much as possible to create a branding meme for the least amount of money. This is not, in any way shape or form creative advertising. This is more like a public nuisance. <br /> The Renegade artists, on the other hand had a purpose: Create works of art in lieu of these eyesores in the hopes that people will--however many--will get the message and understand that they don't have to be constantly bombarded with visual displays trying to sell you something. Visual displays can be interesting and thought provoking however it was created. Let the businesses go through the proper channels and the artists, when they get an equal voice will as well.TheHolyFatmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02817382184998297280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-32876332313825942592009-05-03T16:01:00.000-04:002009-05-03T16:01:00.000-04:00cgnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-75987114403212745182009-05-02T10:57:00.000-04:002009-05-02T10:57:00.000-04:00Little creativity, change our lives!sunrainethttp://www.sunrainet.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-64478361006016301572009-04-29T19:31:00.000-04:002009-04-29T19:31:00.000-04:00Edgewise is right.<br />And fortunately this is an opinion shared by most.<br />10% of the poulation have 90% of the wealth in the world.<br />But 90% percent with the rest are pissed off and majority and common sense win every time<br />Power to the Public and THEIR space!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-27255681921426076962009-04-29T06:59:00.000-04:002009-04-29T06:59:00.000-04:00Me encanta el trabajo de estos artistas callejeros.

Yes illegal acts can also apply to corporations not just you and me. But becuase these ads were rakig in cash the government let it slide. So I feel that those adverts were illegal and vandalism. And the artists going over and putting up various works of art is much better than an illegal ad for some big ol' corporation.<br /><br />Lets be honest what do you think will encourage the people (more importantly the kids) more. "ooo look I'll be happy with that product" *buy buy buy* or "hey how did they do that I want to learn THAT"<br /><br />if you had to choose between poluting the masses with shitty products that won't help us in any way, or giving the people free art for a few days/weeks which would you choose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-74025329336035005812009-04-27T16:57:00.000-04:002009-04-27T16:57:00.000-04:00My first time to your blog, but thanks so much for sharing this, and thanks to the artists for sharing their art.

These companies paid a lot of money for these ads, and these people just came and ruined them. It probably cost the companies thousands to repost those ads, costs that will be passed on to the consumers. I know it's easy to not care about big corporations, but what if it were your ad that was painted over? What if you owned a small business and had saved up for months for a big nice ad in NYC and you finally got it and then some guy came and painted over it? It's selfish and thoughtless and egocentric. If these artists want their work displayed, do it in a gallery space, or fork over their own money for the ad space. What they did was no less than stealing, and should be treated as such. <br /><br />I am a big art lover and I think we do need more art in our cities, however I think that praising people for breaking the law and costing good American companies thousands of dollars is despicable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-40542557420648143412009-04-27T16:30:00.000-04:002009-04-27T16:30:00.000-04:00Me llamo mbi y he llegado hasta tí vía Escrito en la pared, enhorabuena Barbara por el blog....que me ha hecho disfrutar junto a tí de tu participación...<br />Seguiré aquíMBIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01247782829869457059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-82033065963134256922009-04-27T15:55:00.000-04:002009-04-27T15:55:00.000-04:00I love NYC!!!!Holen Sabrina Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18364403070586651109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892981298196292719.post-22932248152770156612009-04-27T10:55:00.000-04:002009-04-27T10:55:00.000-04:00Qué pena no haber estado ese día para verlo.
