culture jamming artists

1. Michael Aaron Williams is an artist creating street art.  He creates portraits of the homeless on cardboard and places them throughout the city in London. He wants people walking by to notice them, and even take them home.

"This series are all done on cardboard and depict the homeless. They are put up and are able to be taken down so that they can be taken home. They are therefore extremely delicate. Its interesting because just like the actual homeless, the people on the street ignore the pieces and many times see no worth in them. However, Some people have and are encouraged to take these home where the pieces can survive."
