Someone Is Leaving Ironic Messages All Over The UK, And It’s Impossible Not To Notice Them
Mobstr is a living example that not everyone who write on walls are vandals. This witty British street artist employs stencils and irony to poke fun at social norms, and the powerful messages are impossible to walk by without noticing.
From mocking authorities and consumerism to ridiculing other graffers, Mobstr's written word is changing the way we view public space and is reminding us that our possession-obsessed desires aren't necessarily answers to life. Scroll down to discover his unapologetic invasion of our surroundings and upvote your favorite pieces!

But you are not telling me to do anything other than doing what you tell me but you didn't tell me to do anything except do what you tell me... this is going to go on for a long time isn't it.

Mmmm... No. A lot of ours in Florida are Jeebus loves Republicans messages and don't have an abortion chose adoption (then we'll starve the little bastard of love and attention while placing some of them with violent pedophiles and calling them a burden unworthy of love or attention whoop have no place in society.) I prefer the ones selling s**t TBH. Oh and wet have one that reminds us who's playing the Rays. This is very useful when your team sucks a*s because denial of a*s suckage comes with game night memory loss. You instinctively avoid watching things you love suffer.

Reminds me a little of the movie "They Live" where, with special glasses, the main character could see what the signs really said. eg "Consume", or "Obey", or on money "This is your god".

If he is papering over actual ads that were paid for, I can see why there'd be some anger.

At least he has a sense of humor. I wonder how much it costs to clean up after him. Especially on brick walls.

Reason I don't go to cinemas anymore, just wait until comes out and then watch it online if I don't like I just switch it off and move on and best thing is no money spent.

Watch Asian (Japanese, Taiwanese) movies instead. You'll never want to go back to hollywood's sh%t.

I believe it says '#mural' on the walls and '#floor' on the ground.

It's the same with people yelling. They think the louder they yell the more RIGHT they are!

I doubt this would last long in Britain, we do not use bad language everywhere like the Americans

It took me 2 seconds to read lol. But than another 19 coming up with an idea for a comment and typing it out and maybe I’ll stop now because the number is going up to 30 seconds.

For those who don't get it, Banksy is a guy who creates art on money, sometimes forging the bill itself. It's gorgeous, but it made the money worthless.......until he became well recognized for it and people will pay for them. Mobstr is just pointing out the fine line between art and vandalism.

Doesn't it make you wonder if people are really 'using' their phone or just making it look like they are? I take these times to empty stuff out!

It would be ironic if this one took more time to apply than the others.

It's the equivalent of spending a lot of money on a 'messy' haircut to make it look like you didn't spend a lot of money on a haircut.

Banksy did not get arrested; it was a (2014) hoax. Try Googling it.

Just imagine if you‘d look over that wall and see Buddha, Jesus, God (pick your favorite), some heroes fallen in battle, a bunch of angels, 70 virgins and whatever else is supposed to be floating around heaven just frolicking around at a pool party and they all look at you like “What?!”.

Very clever and meaningful. However, this is where the line gets fuzzy. In the view of an Artist this makes sense, but to a graphic artist this is another artist defacing someone else's hard work. This should not take away from the message this artist is trying to make, just food for thought.

How do we know these are all by the same person? Many clearly are, but some seem to have a very different style.
