“The city has a face, the country has a soul.”
I don’t know who said that, but it just might be true. And these days, it’s definitely no exaggeration to say that the walls have ears. Why not eyes, mouths, noses and other facial accroutements too? Luckily, JR obliges, with some of the sickest large scale urban work I’ve seen in a long time [via Wooster].

In the 1980s, people feared that HIV might take over the world. Today they might have much the same worries about Swedish mega-retailer H+M. This billboard liberation from German artist XOOOOX, to coincide with Berlin Fashion Week, is pretty amazing. [via: Wooster]. XOOOOX doesn’t seem to have that much stuff up yet but I do like these rebranded benches. Font and a flourishy crest will go surprisingly far towards bougie-luxe appeal it seems.
