I really love this.

Yeah, it's probably a little too artsy-fartsy, but I don't care. This is the work of a Scottish artist named Robert Montgomery, who covers ads with posters of his poetry.

Like this.

And this.

And this.

Q&A with the artist.

I like the one that mentions ghosts the most!

Poetry is usually better when it rhymes!

so, a little vandalism does not bother you?
Often wrong, but never in doubt.

I don't think this really constitutes vandalism since a) this particular installation is sanctioned by the government and b) the canvases are removable and don't stay up for long. If you read the Q&A, the public response is positive to his work.

You said the same thing about the Sistine Chapel.

Don't forget the ten commandments.
It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sombitch or another.

Fifteen... Ten! Ten commandments!
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

I could see the one about the ghosts on the seawall down in Galveston.

That's cool stuff.
