wow! i can hardly believe that's an actual advertisement. looks much more like a graffiti paste-up to me...very shepherd fairey. either way, pretty awesome!
Peter: 10th Jul 2006 - 13:38 GMT
yeah, i thought it was a fancy stencil/pasteup at first. nice find.

it's either a paste-up or a mock of a paste up...
it's very similar in style to a peculiar campaign around town involving pictures of Burton Cummings of the Guess Who with the text "Stand Tall" beneath him... He's from Winnipeg and he owns a chain of restaurants, but I don't know what the point of those images are, other than to pique my curiosity..
