Take a Photo, Leave a Photo

For Toronto street artist Posterchild’s latest project, he installed blue wooden boxes around town with a camera inside. He explains:

I made 5 boxes that contained dollar-store disposable cameras and marked them with “Take a Photo, Leave a Photo.” After retrieving the cameras (there were 3 still remaining), I developed the film and then framed and mounted the resulting photographs in the same spots!

The results are really cool!

You can see more of the photos on his site.

Seating Cap

Street Artist Posterchild has been adding his “Seating Caps” to pipes around Chinatown in Toronto. He explains:

These pipes- as pokey, uncomfortable, and rough as they are- have long ago been reimagined as benches, repurposed as public seating on a street that has none.

I just made them more comfy!

I call it a “Seating Cap”!

Mario Blocks

Street artist Posterchild has been putting up Mario question mark blocks in public places for years. His site even has instructions on how to make your own.

This month, he’s started putting up Mario blocks that are already punched out, and have a “fire power” flower popping out of them. Guerilla Gardening meets street art!

Stained Glass Advertisement Subversion

Canadian street artist Posterchild was in New York earlier this month for a special mission. With the help of Jason Eppink and Steve Lambert he installed four pixelator style boxes to give New York Subway advertisement screens an awesome stained glass look.
