This collection of street posters, mad scribblings, political screeds, religious rants, and paranoid raves was collected on the streets of New York City from 1985 to the present. Some time ago, it occurred to me that the streets are as full of art as, say, thrift shops are full of great paintings. So, inspired by Jim Shaw's collection Thrift Shop Paintings, Adolf Wölfli's visionary scrawls, and outsider music, I began carrying a portable razor with me whilst out on casual strolls. What began as a hobby has remained an obsession and this obsession is brought to you in living color here on UbuWeb. https://www.ubu.com/outsiders/index.html
Keep checking back as this page is constantly updated. I have hundreds of examples to share with you, as as time permits, they'll all eventually appear here.

As part of the workshop for EPE, we decided to collect some of the flyers on this UbuWeb page. Then we distorted them to make funny or political messages. These messsages are part of the current events of our lives in Esad Valence and in our society. You can more dig into it on our website : https://epe.esad-gv.fr/iaoweto/ and see our work process.
