AWESOMECON

I have heard a bit about Poster Boy, mainly just references to him via friends in NYC.  I didn’t take too much effort to review his work at first, mainly because I am not in NYC and what I saw seemed to be him simply covering up exiting ads with his “custom” work.  Dustin recently shared a link via Google Reader that showed Poster Boy at work with his blade and now I have a much better understanding of a) what he does b) how he does it and c) why my friends are all gaga for him.  Check it out:

I am impressed by the simplicity of it and how fast he has to work not to get caught.  I also like the fact that he has an audience, and they clearly are enjoying watching him dismantle and then reconstruct posters using nothing but a razor and a damn good eye.
