Spiritualism
Posted by Eliza Gauger
So there was this famous, striking billboard in Toronto that sits outside a church on College Street. The church had let it stay in a lovely state of decay for years, but recently decided to black it all out! I don’t know if they plan to eventually put up something new, but I decided that we should help them along. I thought that the congregation might actually like it, but I’ve been told that it’s already down…
A shame, it was a real struggle to put up too…
Spiritualism!

I’ve met the man, and I can assure you that the above is a photo of himself that he plastered onto the wall.

Whoo! YEAH! Spiritualism!
Man, with a call to action like that, who wouldn’t give church another look? Besides, you know, rationalists.

Around the corner from my house…I always wondered what would happen to that sign.
Good on posterchild for fixing it up.

Mr. Period appears to be slumming it these days.

The church billboards & message boards I usually see are eye-rollingly lame or downright conceited. This one is just great & I was more than a little disappointed to learn that the church itself didn’t put it up. Kudos to the artist tho’. :D

I prefer Spiritualismo. The original decrepid billboard was quite lovely. There must be a name for that style or genre.
