Michael,

I don't want to come off as confrontational, but I have a question for you:

Do you feel that by stenciling an "anti-advertisement" motto which contains the AAA logo on top of an advertising paste-up is, in itself, another form of advertising?

I can understand you not wanting advertising on your walls, and I am an full support of that. But I personally feel that by adding a logo to your slogans then they, too, become an advertisement for that Anti-Advertisement Agency. Kind of ironic.

jovino, I think that this only holds true if you think that art and advertising are the same... which I (obviously) don't.

In some instances, it is a very thin line. In this particular case of advertising of art, is it not only the foundation of advertising that you are opposed to but also the guerilla style that the advertisers are taking. Plus their blatant disrespect of others' work is pretty infuriating. On that level, I am completely on your side.

I'm actually curious how all of this will play out. A lot depends on if the people doing the paste-ups will keep coming back to mess with you.

Yes, but the Anti-Advertisement Agency isn't selling anything.

I'm with Mr. Mandiberg on this one.
