Muybridge sequences

stumbleBack in April Jordan Seiler's Public Ad Campaign organized
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.
Read more of the story on
the New York Times, the
Public Ad Campaign's website, and see more images on

One of the billboards from the nyc illegal billboard takeover I liked most was the skateboard jump progression.
It turns out the artist ('I Am') did a couple of others too - a high five and raising a sign introducing himself
artist: I AM
location: NYC
120 illegal billboards whitewashed around nyc this weekend, and then used as blank canvases by artists; this is one of my favorites.
