the decapitator
Rad Fangorian guerilla art from The Decapitator, a UK-based street artist/culture-jammer known for graphically severing the heads displayed on major advertising media and reducing them to bloody, bony stumps.
His latest efforts include a foray into newsprint, having hijacked the London Paper’s back page Motorola ad and distributing it both by hand and via the distributor’s supply. The event was even documented for prosperity, here.
Originally found on either cpluv or ffffound, it’s seems the East London Decapitator’s work has been getting around.
From Wired:
The mutation of art into other forms of art is always fascinating — even if the recipients aren’t always willing, as was in the case with New York-based graffiti defacer, known as the Splasher. Splasher became infamous this summer for tossing paint onto the work of well-known street artists like Shepard Fairy and Momo, citing controversial claims that their work was gentrified, banal and irreparably appropriated and commodified.
