From Posterchild’s site:
She thought she was just helping me out with another street art project; I kept this covered until after it was installed and after the unveiling I was expecting some kind of reaction- but it took a little while to convince her that this was a proposal for real, and [...]

August 30, 2009 – 6:42 am

From The New York Times City Room blog:
For several years — in spite of 103 violation notices issued against it — a three-story, wrap-around billboard has blanketed the lower floors of the 19th-century Cushman Building, 174 Broadway, at Maiden Lane. On Thursday, clearly feeling that its enforcement efforts had been lost on OTR Media Group, which [...]

NYT: Reporting a Crime as a Business Opportunity
May 12, 2009 – 1:57 pm
Just sent the following letter to the New York Times:
