Jordan Seiler, of the great
Public Ad Campaign, has put up a 'billboard weave' in LA. Apparently this didn't last long before
NPA restored their illegal advertising. It never ceases to amaze me that illegal advertising companies don't get shut down.

a takeover of about 120 illegal billboards in NYC; each was whitewashed, and repainted by an artist.
Yesterday was round two; this time another 114 billboards were targeted; some of the results are below:

Unfortunately the illegal billboard companies (chief offender:
NPA Outdoor) swiftly reclaimed a lot of the billboards with fresh low-budget ads.
