FREE POSTER BOY! i mean, that is POSTER BOY, right?

So, if you're even half-alert, walking in the subway, between last yr and now, & thought you noticed weird ads, looking like collages, such as: two guys drowning in a glass of beer in a Michelob ab, or an ad for a television program about Drug Enforcement Administration altered to say, "Iran: Every Deal Can Turn Deadly", or a subway door sign reworded to read, "Do Not Lean on Poor", you've seen Poster Boy's infamous work.

While majority of graffiti artists concentrate on putting their name and imagery any and everywhere, Poster Boy, is like Zorro with a razor blade. He has such a talent for collage, and a wicked sense of humor. He's made his presence felt all over the city by remaking the images that are were put to form ads.
But of course, there are always people who respect the movement, and there will always be people who will be against it, i.e.: the pigs, and the companies shelling out the money for these ads.
On Saturday, at an art event in SoHo, a group of plainclothes New York City police officers supposedly caught and unmasked, the man they say is Poster Boy.

He is Henry Matyjewicz, a 27-year-old who lives in Bushwick, Brooklyn, and he was found after someone who saw the name Poster Boy on a flier for the event basically snitched. How gross.
As the story goes, he was released from Rikers, early Monday morning.
Supposedly though, Henry, was taking the wrap for the true Poster Boy, because he believes in the movement of Poster Boy. So, at the end of the day, Henry Matyjewicz is an innocent man.

On Tuesday Poster Boy, in an emailed interview said that Mr. Matyjewicz’s arrest meant only good things for himself. “More awareness,” he wrote in the interview . “More support. Outdoor advertising, a blight that can’t be ignored, will become illegal.”

“Socially, I’d like people to understand that there is a difference between what is right and what is just,” he said. “If there is a law that is outdated, impractical, and/or immoral, people should have the right to challenge it. Remember, slavery was considered legal at one point. I consider the world’s current modus operandi a modern slave system. I intend to challenge it in any way I can.”


HOW REAL ISSS THAT !?
