Very pleased to be collaborating with Art in Ad Places because they’re doing important work and because our cities ought to be controlled by the people who live in them and not solely by corporations and their interests. New Yorkers have a right not to be bombarded by ads for dumb products they never wanted or asked for, and instead should retain the right to express themselves and their opinions openly in public space and be exposed to the opinions of fellow city dwellers in turn, for it is the only way to further societal development (at least far more effectively than with more ‘breast augmentation’ ads).

And speaking of breasts (and other human body parts), this particular work of art was chosen because women should clearly be able to display (or not) their bodies however they might well please without worry of judgement or harassment. Any laws or social conditioning standing in the way of this very basic human liberty must cease to exist effective immediately.

Aerosol and Acrylic Paint on Wall

A series of murals commemorating the dead of Egypt’s 2011 uprising. These murals were big collaborative efforts that drew in a great many volunteers via social media and very often right off the street as we were painting. The original intention was to do a mural for each and every one of the revolution’s victims. That, however, proved to be difficult, as the death toll continued to rise and the revolution was evidently far from over.
