These having been popping up all over the US, from east to west coast. Funny how the art style is so similar. It's believed that Sony is paying artists to spray walls with images. This guy was caught in the act:



It seems like he's copying the image from a paper that Sony might have sent him.

Here is the community response to some of these images:

I like this quote from one of the website,

Michelle's not buying Sony's claims it had nothing to do with it, either. "It's quite obviously an advertisement, but when I called Playstation Consumer Services this morning, [the representative] claimed to know nothing about the campaign. I guess there's just some clever youngster out here that just really LOVES the PSP and wants the whole world to know about it..."

That "customer rep" most likely does not know the name of there CEO let alone if they threw money out the window to do something like this. People are idiots. Sony would have no need to do something like this, yet out of all those website with those articles, I see no drop of proof that Sony had anything to do with it. So as it stands now, they have no one to pen it on.

A picture has also appeared on US site Wooster Collective which appears to back up the theory that Sony is responsible. According to the caption the photograph, which was taken in Philadelphia, "shows a dude hired by Sony (or their ad agency). Using a set of prints that the company has sent him, he's copying the images from the campaign onto the wall.

Since a picture most likely from a few hundred feed away, these people make me laugh. Not only could those be simple drawling's made off a computer, unless they see a signature or anything on it - they still have no proof. Sony would be risking to much to vandalize property, and I am sure some idiot will try to sue them over it. That's all the world is about now a days...

Sony has nothing to do with it, I would put money on it. Plus they are some ugly half a**ed paintings anyway, seeing that wouldnt make me wan't to spend $250.00 on a PSP.
