Making a social statement via graffiti is nothing new, people have been scribbling on walls to express their views since man first realized he could make his mark. However, the popularity of the medium has decreased the frequency of pieces that are both thoughtful and artfully executed. Enter The Decapitator, an artist in London who is applying his own fiendish take on advertising, replacing the heads of the ad’s subjects with decapitated stumps. Each piece of subvertionist art is carefully crafted, and blends perfectly with the original advert making them seem like the work of a renegade marketing peon, bent on bringing down his corporate overlords.
