Is Poster Boy angling to be street art's Keyser Söze? He's only fooling the Paper of Record so far, after a friend of the artist told them “Poster Boy can be anybody.” Mysterious!

When we first heard of Poster Boy it was for his subway ad "mash-ups." More recently a video came out showing him work on a much larger scale, above ground, and promising it's a sign of what's to come. Earlier this week we tracked down the anonymous artist to ask him about his plans, ideas and why he does what he does.

Recently street artist Chris Stain has been pasting up his art around town with Swoon. He says that in 1984, he was one of the "kids who became infected by graffiti's bold colors, striking form, and independent nature." Decades later he looked at his own work, describing it as a direct reflection of his surroundings -- "the people, neighborhoods, and struggles, that are swept along with the every day lives of the common American." Still in town and putting up work that he feels fits into the city's individual neighborhoods, we asked him a few questions about his art.
