Helpinng you to maximize your advertising, marketing, SEO and CMS.
That’s amazing! These adverts really get on my nerves too…and the art’s prettier than just straight defacement.
But what’s an ACD? Is it like the US equivalent of an ASBO?
just a buncha hypocrite white people, as usual. bringing in some middle class yuppy artists to paint buildings is basically the same thing as plastering them with ads. same people. same message. we know what to do with your time/money/space better than you do.
thanks for posting this video as a response to “repainting the bike lanes”. your project is amazing.
If i want to buy something i will buy it for what it is used for not because it is posted all over the world. I get turned off products when they are pushed into my face. Art work is much more important then adds
Long live free speech!
This is a fantastic use of talent.
Hooray for you!
TWAT.. The idea here is not so much that these AD spaces are illegal, but that AD spaces are eye-sores, and replaced by artistic content they become the opposite. In the end it’s easier to go after spaces used illegally, rather than the big CC boards used legally of course.
But then of course there still is a problem with the fact that these spaces are being used illegally. So you could fact with legal action against those spaces, or just simply use your energy covering them with ART.
TWAT.
I’ve discovered something AMAZING!
I’m teaching this to my students in Agitational Communication. Thanks for taking back the streets!
That ” DELETE ” Button was by far the coolest !
interesting way to retaliate
I guess by painting over billboards, now matter how illegal they are, is an act of vandalism or another form of illegal advertising.
Nice vid, however
Yes, 2 wrongs don’t make it right??
the only difference is that NPA pays rent to the landlords and they own the premises.. what will you guys do when NPA forces their landlords to sue.
The most intense thing I’ve ever done in my entire life was go to war.

Good job!
It’s a fine line… They got arrested because NPA Outdoors called the cops on them. What the white washers/artists did is no more or less illegal than what NPA Outdoors does. No landlords fought the case in court, so 2 arrests were completely let off the hook and the other 2 were acquitted.
False. “cool ads” < actual art. Next.
these billboards are on private property .. wtf? these people should be arrested .. i rather look at cool ads than this crappy artwork .. it looks like graffiti
nice
Arrested for painting over illegal signs?
solid, inspiring, real
Amazing
a friend of mine used to make public seating in NYC (as places to rest are a scarce commodity in most american cities) and would have them taken down almost immediately by NYPD. That was, until she added fake advertising on them. The NYPD left up any with the ads for months.
it’s an incredibly frustrating world we live in
-.-’
