Religion has always been one of the constructs of human irationallity that has never seized to amaze me. How can faith, which is by definition the process of uncritically believing absurdisms in face of an absolute lack of proof, in our society really be regarded as a virtue? Luckily some exemplary people have taken it to their mind, to confront the brainless masses with the idiocy of their beliefes. Here is a small collection of these thought-provoking impulses, which have been affixed to the shries of their imbecilities. Enjoy! And may God be with you!
This one reads: Stop Religion! Our children are our future. Let’s try not to turn them into dangerous idiots
And this one says: Gehen die Atheisten in die Offensive? Schlimme Sache! Das dürfen nur Zeugen Jehovas!
As the snow melts, art solidifies. It has been a crazy cold winter, but it seems that as soon as the temperatures at night permit people to go out without suffering from hypothermia and eventually dying a painful death, guerrilla art is back on the rise. Like the first flowers, small pate-ups begin to sprout, slowly colonizing the bleak concrete walls and dark corners of cities all around the world. The small minded citizens of square-town have to retrieve their steel brushes from their moldy basements and get on buffing the protest of their youth again. Spring is comeing! Isn‘t it a fine time?

I wasn‘t part of it of course, i‘m not into smashing stuff and breaking the law =)
My personal favorite:
And the rest:
Not two paste-ups are alike, (at least if you lazy motherfuckers don‘t use your computers to fashion them), and sometimes even the methods of their creation intrigue the humble observer. There are well known classics, like the flattened and painted spray-cans nailed to the wall, but even in these recent times of mental devastation, a few chosen ones still manage to bring new ideas into being.
An example of one such new thing, at least to me that is, I came across on a nearby playground just yesterday.
So. Did you ever wonder what to do with the remains of your latest gardening experiment? Just dispose of it like the rest of the organic waste, and dump it in your least favorite teachers convertible? You need not, anymore! Thanks to the ingenious idea of some kid who lives near some playground: Just paste it to the fucking walls!
The effect is simply amazing, as you can see. And by choosing the right kind of leafs you can assure to enrage those pesky residents.
I for one sure hope more of these will pop up around here. I‘ll keep an eye open, and you my dear nonexistent reader, informed.
Sometimes, when you walk around and you look just hard enough, you can find little figures hiding in corners and on top of walls. They are pretty rare, so every time I come across one, I‘m so happy I almost cream my pants. These three, I found just a few days ago…
Two pictures are kinda fucked up, I know, but my shitty auto-focus refuses to properly work at night.
Have you ever been upset with the bus? No problem, we have created a perfect way for you to voice your unheard resentment to the unbearable state of non development, into which most cities public transport systems have arrested.
The bad thing is, it is not an App. That is also the good thing, because it will not make you look like an phone-bound fag, if you use it.
It’s just, you may have guessed it, a paste-up.
So paste it up, bitch – and be so kind as to do it in the general proximity of a bus-stop or such.
(Looking for the „big picture“?)
Paste-Ups are a fun way to waste time and force your more or less artistic ambitions and or opinions upon the unwilling public. They can be created at low cost and minimal effort, but of course the limit to how much time and money can be wasted is the sky. They come in every size shape and color and can be applied to almost any kind of surface quite quickly.
But of course there is also a downside. No matter if you use store-bought glue or home-made wheat-paste, paste-ups can be removed almost without any effort. On the other hand, this will most likely save you from any kind of vandalism charges.
Personally I like to draw them by hand, even though my dad sure didn‘t father an artist, and though they may look like originating from special-kids crafts-class, they are way cheaper to make that way.
Remember that, depending on the surface you want to paste on, a quick cleaning may be required…
You can of course just create some stuff on your computer and print it out, raising the cost and lowering the effort, but it kind of looses some of its original fun that way.
Basically just do what you want. Collages, paintings… go crazy and try things.
Use it to annoy your neighbors…
Nag about an asshole politician…
Offend Christians…
Or maybe just to point out your distress about other people’s unfinished work…
That should be enough for now and provide you with some hours of fun. Help your urban environment become more colorful and indulge in the fun of pissing off a shitload of people. Just create and paste and don‘t forget a cozy layer of extra glue, to add that final touch of permanence.
Intrigued? Maybe next time we‘ll show you some stickers…
