PosterBoy has come out from the underground and is moving on to bigger canvases. The below video was shot by the Public Ad Campaign and put up on YouTube recently, showing the street artist taking down a billboard in Brooklyn. The following words were posted with it: "A sign of what's to come."
He also recently talked for 120 seconds about what he does, and why. [via Urban Prankster]

Wow! What a dickhead. Where's the artistry in pulling down a billboard @ night?
Meaningless gesture cloaked in a whole lot of pretense which manages to get PR on high profile blogs.
This kid has a good future in advertising!
i don't see what is percieved as pretentious by you...
id rather see an empty billboard than an ad.
thanks for having balls like a real nyc cat!
Seeing an empty billboard must remind you of what's in your head.
your apparent love of advertising doesn't bode too well for whatever is in your head...
"meaningless", "dickhead", "cloaked in pretense", "a future in advertising?" What?! Them are some harsh words to be used towards a kid just trying to yank down a billboard and replace it with some of his own art. This type thing makes New York awesome. Shit takes guts. Oy vey...
good for him.
the increasing use of billboard advertising that forces itself on us everywhere we turn makes this sort of thing necessary. Likewise it validates any form of graphatti to cover it up.
Thanks for spreading the love- Much appreciated. We're really glad you posted a link to our video of Posterboy "breaking it down". We hope to see you at our Friends We Love Arts + Music Festival on Jan. 30th. For more info: http://www.friendswelove.com/friendswelove/FWL_FESTIVAL.html
