Darth Goes For the Brew: a Star Wars / Murakami / Beer Ad Mash Up

Posted by Alex in Advertising on April 21, 2008 at 7:38 pm


Jeff Simmermon of And I Am Not Lying for Real blog saw this Star Wars ad on the subway that someone had "mashed up" with bits and pieces from a beer ad and a poster for a Takashi Murakami exhibit:

Those great big billboard ads you see on the subway are nothing but giant peel-and-stick Coloforms, really. I love the accidental collages you see when people randomly pick and peel those thing like they’re great big scabs, and I just knew it was a matter of time before someone started making art out of them.

Then I saw this ad for Star Wars that had been chopped and remixed with bits from a beer ad and a poster for a Takashi Murakami exhibit and I heard a horde of angels singing a song titled “Shit Yeah!”

Check out the Princess Leia/Iron Man poster ad mash up too (why, the possibility is endless, you creative vandals!) : Link - Thanks Jeff!

    Vandalism, yes.

    Art, yes!

    Pretty cool. Though I’m surprised people would do this in such a public place! They’re neat little collages but I didn’t think much of the Leia one.
