Some type stuff. The first is a stencil I did a while back. I sprayed it all over the village I live in. The response apparently was positive. It's still on the window of the local community art space.


















The second is a clipping from a newspaper advertisement for reprints of a famous WWII public information poster. The poster was initially produced by the Ministry of Information in 1939 during the beginning of World War II, and was intended as a "last case scenario" to be used only should the Nazis succeed in invading Britain via Operation Sea Lion, in order to stiffen resolve. Two-and-a-half million copies were printed, although the poster was distributed only in limited numbers. The designer of the poster is not known.

  1. Oh I love these! As a fan of WWII history, as tragic as it was, I can never help but point out that they don't make men like that anymore ... the mettle on both sides was downright astonishing.
