Proof of Mr. Brainwash Putting Up Advertisements



We got sent some action pics of Mr. Brainwash putting up the Red Hot Chili Peppers advertisements.

Not sure what MBW's role in this is? Is he just the street team putting up ads? Or like with the Madonna posters, did he design the album cover?

A lot of street artists and street art supporters are riled up about this MBW orchestrated RHCP campaign, and understandably so. This blog has been one of MBW'S few supporters, but when you see a corporate ad campaign capping over artists to try and get street cred, it is lame, and we can see why people get bothered.


***Big thanks to Funny Matt for sending in these pics!***

    They are not trying to get street cred, they are ADVERTISING a concert. just because you do it for 'street cred' doesnt mean they do it for that. but the record label is doing it for exactly what you said in the title-they are ADVERTISING so they can make money by selling tickets to a concert-quite a simple and old concept-Ad 101, not street cred-they could care less about 'street cred'. You helped bring more attention to Red Hot-good or bad its Hollywood fools-It actually could have been the idea to piss everyone off and you FELL FOR IT! LOL!!
