Poster Boy brings you Subway Poster Hacking
[from Trend Central]
It's not often that you see innovation that takes street art beyond Krylon, scratchitti, ink markers, and wheat paste. However, over the past year, NYC subway riders have been taking note of a growing number of underground platform ads that have been cut and paste to create new signs, often with humorous or political messages; for example, a McDonald's ad was changed to read "McDorse The World" and an Indiana Jones poster became "Indians R Gone." The movement is being inspired by an incognito artist, known simply as Poster Boy, who posts his work on Flickr and is encouraging others to take up the medium and claim the Poster Boy moniker as well. While aerosol taggers in the '80s had to get their word out via subway cars that traversed the burroughs, because of digital cameras and the popularity of photo sharing we could see this new form of self expression becoming influential on a global scale in no time.

Free Banksy Downloads
I found this story on Coolhunting.com. Banksy if now offering free downloads of some of his art pieces in his on-line shop. All of the images can be downloaded in small, medium, or large for print or for use as a desktop. It looks like Banksy is offering up his works for free in direct response to the many hustlers that turned his work into unauthorized t-shirts.
