^ Yeah, but that would have been the only old school rat of the 6 or 7 he painted here in town so that sticks out like a sore thumb. Then, you combine that with the fact that it's an advertisement unlike any other piece in that north american campaign (outside of the fact they were all generating publicity for the film) and draw your conclusions accordingly. I'd have to see that on his site to reverse my opinion.

I think I agree with you, but it was buffed almost immediately, so would find it hard to think it was some marketing stunt by ZipCar? though we're talking about it now, so maybe it worked  |

actually yeah the fact that the photo was taken by an art/gallery promotion makes me think you're right.... will try to get confirmation from the photographer
the gallery was owned by one of the guys who started Swindle, so now I'm back at square one... will dig further

lee3 heard from the photographer/owner of MA - he confirms that they didn't paint it as a marketing stunt. but he did hear rumors at the time that it was B because he was in town and was familiar with their gallery, but now he's on the fence as well

That's a MUCH larger version of the london doesn't work placard rat and looks nothing like any of the other rats he painted on that campaign. The rats got a little cooler/hollywood on that tour with director glasses, berets, glitter etc and that would be the only one out of dozens of stencils across this country that he supposedly painted from years past. Compound with zipcar ad and it's a no go to me. You could buy his old stencils online by that point too. |

Had a look at that but fed threw me off the scent saying it's a collab, really..? that's how I interpreted it www.deitch.com/archive/alifeIf have to go back and rewatch, but I think I recall that piece (or maybe one very similar) sitting on someone's desk in ETTGS, or B-Movie or another movie/video with talking heads |

Bad-ass thread Fed... You really came through gathering all this content. What ever became of the archival site you were publishing?

Work hard and you'll get a bad back🙄 I agree mate. Does look like UK brickwork. Though I thought they were possibly london yellowstocks. As I've been singlehanded repointing a house (front then back) for the past 12 weeks I'm kinda sick of looking at bricks atm. Weather has fluctuated between warm sunshine & minus 3 on one day. Very happy thats behind me. |
