PosterBoy

PosterBoy (in contrast to PosterChild, see 2 posts below) is a New York City based street artist (specifically Brooklyn) known for his street art created with only a razor. Often modifying advertisements in NY subways, his work is often a humorous yet political play on the original image, often including verbal wordplay. Over 200 of his creative manipulations can be found in the NY area currently.

Easily categorized as an anti-consumerist guerilla artist, PosterBoy also claims to be “anti-media, anti–established art world,” with work reading “IRAN = NAM” and “Obama Drama.”
