2 new Posters from "The Spirit" Hit the Streets
Here are two new posters from Frank Miller’s The Spirit. The first one is of The Spirit (Gabriel Macht), standing at the wrong end of two big guns, body full of bullet holes and not seeming to care. The other poster is the reverse angle of Samuel L. Jackson as The Octopus, gripping said guns and looking mad as hell that his bullets can’t seem to take down The Spirit.

Swiss artist touches a nerve in Iceland
Swiss artist Christoph Büchel has infuriated citizens of Reykjavík by plastering posters around the Icelandic capital as part of the Reykjavík Arts Festival. Büchel used a poster for the right-wing Swiss political party SVP (Schweizerische Volkspartei) which shows three white sheep kicking a black one off the Swiss flag. He translated its slogan, “Creating security”, into Icelandic.
“[We] received a huge number of complaints about the posters, and demands that they be removed immediately. People felt they were racist, and in many cases they simply tore them down,” a spokesman for the City of Reykjavík, told The Art Newspaper.
A field with four real black sheep and a Swiss flag was also part of the installation. However, because of its remote location, few Icelanders found it.
In May residents of a town near Reykjavík staged demonstrations after the government decided that their area should accommodate refugees from Iraq.

Pensioner threatened with fine for putting up lost cat posters
"A pensioner has been threatened with a heavy fine after she put posters on lampposts trying to find the owners of a lost cat.
Kind-hearted Joy Tracey wanted to reunite Copper, the ginger tom, with his owners after she found him whimpering in her garden.
The grandmother-of-three visited numerous animal shelters, vets and pet shops in a bid to help the cat and also put adverts in the local paper and called the RSPCA.
But after two weeks of having no luck public-spirited Joy printed 12 laminated, A5-sized posters and tied them to lampposts near her home in Denton, Greater Manchester.
But she was soon called by enforcement officers telling her she was breaking the rules.
Joy said: "He said whilst he sympathised, it was an offence, and told me to remove them all from the Denton area or face a hefty fine.
"The world is going potty with petty officialdom. As long as I can remember, lost pets have been advertised on lampposts.
"I'd had no response and he's such a lovely cat I had to get him home."
Council rules dictate anyone who wants to put posters on lampposts must apply in writing to council highways engineers for permission at least 28 days in advance.
Offenders face a conviction and fine if the rules are broken or permitted posters are in place for more than 28 days.
Tameside Council said it was simply enforcing the rules on flyposting.
Thanks to the council's harsh reaction and local publicity, Copper has been reunited with his owners." "A pensioner has been threatened with a heavy fine after she put posters on lampposts trying to find the owners of a lost cat. ... more -

Plagiarists Plagiarizing Plagiarists ?
Shepard Fairey (better known for his OBEY posters, if you are not familiar with, you need to step out of your time capsule and smell the flowers, bud) is one of my favorite graphic artists. Found throughout many blogs/feeds sites including your local FecalFace, this controversy of this design is interesting to the graphic and arts community.

Top 50 bedroom pin-ups
Every adolescent boy has dreams, and those dreams are usually helped along by a poster of a fantasy woman that's perfect for hanging above the bed. There's Farrah, Pamela, Cindy, Rita, Angelina, Marilyn and more.
But which was the most unforgettable? Using trigonometry and high-level calculus, Asylum Magazine has named the 50 most memorable pin-up posters ever.
Me, personally? I had a Cindy Crawford poster hanging up in my room. It was sandwiched by a "Hare Jordan" poster and a "Ren and Stimpy" poster. I love the 90's indeed.
