that is the most awesome kind of art I have seen in a long time!
@unorthodoxJ If you like being an artist, go and buy some ad space and stick whatever you want on it. But if you’re doing this kind of vandal activity using public appliances thinking it’s “art” or “cool” you’re making someone else clean up the shit for you or pay for the cleaning.
@techfoxpl It does a service to the community by shaking those who read it from their complacency and, as you heard in the video, making people smile.
Having it set up in a specific ad space would rob it of those things. It is art, but it doesn’t do as much effect unless people think its serious.
I see no reason why they should be taken down unless you honestly want more signs to go up in its place.
@techfoxpl you do realize that there is so much litter in dublin that this is just nothing special even if you class it as litter and there is some god-awful and uninspired graffiti ‘littering’ the streets, especially down by the central bank and the small back streets near the liffey. this stuff is actually quite good and i bet i put a smile on more than one persons face/
@techfoxpl because you know stickers are such vandalism. try spray paint. you dont need a solvent in a power washer to remove stickers. seriously, lighten up. this guy is just trying to brighten someones day.
@unorthodoxJ I already told you: private property and public property is not your property unless you hire it. If you’re engaging in this kind of activity using someone else’s property without their permission you’re a pure vandal. Try sticking your art on my or my neighbour’s house or on my town hall’s building and I promise I’ll teach you some art.
@demosthenets I wonder, if he feels so positive about what he’s doing then why isn’t he showing his face?
@demosthenets
How would you like it to have one of these stuck into your house or car? You realize if it rains on the stickers, these WILL require a solvent to remove?
@techfoxpl yeah well they dont mind. its a bright and funny way to spread his talent. you seem like a jackass inconciderate for others problems
LETS ARGUE ABOUT EVERYTHING
WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO
@techfoxpl
This is art! The point of art is that you make your own story behind it.
If you can’t than its your little uncreative mind… ;D
@grimmangel25 On the contrary. Seeing people like this guy makes me thinking about other people’s problems: the cleaning guy that has to remove this garbage off the street, and the taxpayer’s money that has to be spent on the cleaning guy.
@kcinnay123 OMG, if you want to make your own story make a film and post it on YouTube!
@techfoxpl im not rich enough to buy ad space. fuck ad space and fuck you
@j377yb33n There’s so much litter in Dublin because everyone thinks they can do the stuff like this because there’s so much litter.
@techfoxpl 1:Cleaning guy, its his job anyway we dont want him to get bored.
2:taxpayers money i guess it would less than a penny of your tax for that
@thewirrow If you want to have a car but you’re not rich enough to buy it are you going to steal it thinking it’s “cool” also? C’mon dude and grow up.
@kith1989 I’d much rather see the money being spent on poor children than on removing garbage left over by a junkie wannabe artist.
IMO….just a waste of time.
epic.
Didnt see his face guess he’s trying be like Banksy
@techfoxpl Sigh its sad how unopen and closed off people can be
And with that end statement of some ambiguous threat just shows what kind of person you are, I will gladly come to your house though to show some of my art if your in my vicinity :)
@techfoxpl i find it cute what he is doing.and calling him junkie is cruel i guess ur like an old style art fan like picaso and vincent vann gho and you disslike anything modern
Concerning the issue of pollution, I suppose you need to weigh the degradation of the environment with the benefits to humanity that the art provides. There’s no question that this is pollution and illegal, but the legal answer isn’t always the RIGHT answer. I feel that things should be illegal because they are wrong/bad, not wrong/bad because they are illegal.
When art is involved, it’s up to the individual whether the benefit outweighs the cost, but you still may be arrested and fined.
@kith1989 I really like his drawings. I think they should get more exposure but I can’t stand still and watch while my town is being vandalised. He should have make a website or an exhibition.
@techfoxpl they don’t get removed…. there is no one payed to remove them. It adds something to the city, its nice to read something obscure while waiting at the pedestrian crossing.
@techfoxpl Well then, get off of your computer and go help some poor children.
What a fun idea! I’ll admit I’m not huge on modern or conceptual art ideas, but I think this is just fantastic. Why? Because anything that can put a smile on someone’s face is something amazing. I love the cute, humorous innocence of the work. It’s nothing very controversial, vulgar or spiteful like I see with a lot of modern day artwork. It’s just a bit of fun, and the world could always do with more laughs!
@TheAuthenticStinray I’ll do so. I promise.
Lost:
One human heart, approximately 11 ounces in weight, about 5 inches long.
Last seen in the possession of Mememolly.
If seen please contact me.
Pointless bullshit
Awesome! thats dublin!
Are people really arguing about this being pollution or illegal? Who cares, it’s a few pieces of paper. This is hilarious, and that guy is awesome.
@Brinnifer Thats a great way of looking at it!
That was all in dublin ireland, cmon the boyos
Lost: Heart:
I cannot love Mrs. Asbestos without this. Nor can I live…. please help me find my heart so I can live to love Mrs. Asbestos again. If found, Contact me at [His Email]
funny one I thought of. :P
greatest idea ever!!!
had a shitty day, saw one of those. :D
@techfoxpl a car will not make the world a better place. do you realise that we are living in a society where only rich companies are able to pollute our minds with a million adverts a day.. and yet they still get the peoples support..like you..and you help them further by ridiculing individuals who want to actually contribute non-polluting art for once but will never afford the FUCKING “ADSPACE” it because of the evergrowing divide that exists between rich and poor.
fuck adspace and ffuck you
Lost: cd-collection. It really defined me as a person. I know i could just download the songs again - but ITS JUST NOT THE SAME.
lol.. music is music, and ownership is a mass dellusion.
thumps up if your viewer 301
ugly and useless crap
Lost box collection of the show Lost
littering…
that’s soo cool. i wish there were more street artists near me. But my town is far too small to be that awesome.
@thewirrow Of course a car can make the world a better place, a garbage truck for example. And these days everyone can afford placing an ad, have you heard about Google AdWords or free website hosting? I bet you didn’t.
This guy seems to have misplaced all his talent and anything that makes him interesting, but he does have an abundance of thoughts that he’s so deep.
he can minus the 2:11 minutes of fame 12:49 of more wasted time to go
@xXxXcalibanxXxX i think i was 301.. it says “views: 301″
yeah! dublin is finally featured!
where are the hot chicks?!!!
“lost ‘lost poster” is my favorite =]
God some of you are complete and utter twats.
@djAmiracle same here man. O_o
Pretty fuckin’ cool…
Hope you find your marbles!
The FUCK!? Rocketboom are in Dublin now?? I might see them tonight :D
Yeah. This dude is a fucktard - littering all over the place.
@nanoking4 not at all lol its pretty cool actually
wooo this is IRELAND.. finally :P
@SmexiSeamus Thats YOUR opinion.
I should try that :D
dumb
Lost : Virginity
GET IN!
Jimmy Carr
.
I find it funny how some of the people (for example here in the comments) love this kind of stuff and some find it totally useless or dumb.
It was the same with the Graffiti video.
cannot understand anything hes speaking of hes either mumbling too much or the volumes tooo low!!! thumbs up if u agree! and /or you were gettin pissed like me!):<
Awesome :) Makes me want to see Exit Through the Gift Shop again…
Lost -Trees (because of this guy wasting paper because he thinks he’s witty)
Awesome.
if i saw him vandalizing my town i would punch him in the nose
theres one of them on my road.
Found: paper clip. Can be traded for house. Must identify If not claimed will be donated to paper clip humane society.
@volumedealer1 kids waste more paper then this guy, at least it means something when he does it
Idiotic idea and an ugly one.
@volumedealer1 and i suppose you think a painter wastes canvas because he thinks he can paint.
Man yall don’t got any creativity like this man here so yall shouldn’t be talking…i bet yall mad cuz yall didn’t think of this.
this guys a tard…
Who does he think he is? Wilson from Home improvement?
i declare this guy to be an outlaw!!
lol lost lost poster i like that one
Holy shit this is my city :D
Nice idea and I think its kind of funny. I cant however agree with just randomly putting stickers on stuff. If he’s anyway respectful he’d remove them after a certain length of time. If he doesn’t he’s just being an arty dick.
Lost United states Constitution;
Seems like it has been missing for something like 80 years. If you have any info, contact me. These people are going crazy without it. Most can’t even remember what it says!
@andrewclonkil is basically the same concept as graffiti. Just cleaner.
I like his idea.
“inspired by ugly posters”? Thats no excuse for making ugly posters.
Lol, I loved the “Lost Lost Poster” lmao
Why didin’t I think of that!! DOH
i can barely understand what he says.
He reminds me of Wilson from Home improvement.
“We’ve so much shit… Like an albatross around our neck…” Well, he’s quite interesting XD
The ideia is funny, true, but when someone who actually lost something wants to put up a lost poster, they will get no attention -.-
REPEAT AFTER ME: LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST LOST…what did he say? i wasn’t listening
oh the irony of the lost letterbox… It’s rare to hear anyone use a coleridge reference in everyday conversation
nO lIFe
Lol @ “Lost” poster for a lost “Lost” poster for a lost “Lost” poster, and lol @ the cults offering help.
I just kept thinking, “Boy it would suck to be the guy the city hires to remove all those stickers.”
WooHoo Ireland!
when where yous in ireland
@SpyCrab he is irish this is ireland
So cool!
Thats just retarted..
Hey, Dublin. Never seen these around. Or at least I don’t remember seein em. Well y’know how it is, fast life
Someone has too much time on their hands..
@88Renji88 Retarted?How do you even tart something in the first place? How does one retart something?
oh, sweet Eire !
I liked ‘Lost! Lost lost sign’
Between the throbbing bass & this guy mumbling, I have no clue what he what talking about. LOST!
LOST: OBAMA
HAS NO CLUE AS TO CAP THE WELL
OR HE DOESN’T WANT TO IT SEEMS.
Lost weight, lost polar bears.
Lost onion. Can’t live without you, can’t cry without you. That one is my favourite :)
Yeayyyyy Dublin featured on rocket boom :):):):). Was about time though ;)
wtf? In my country people do care about helping others about lost things. That’s not funny.
“Erm, didn’t respond to them…”
404, File Not Found!
I hope you don’t mind me doing something like this in Canada! I’m quite inspired by this knick-knack-y idea!
Thanks so much!
Cool! I’d like to see more about street artists.
LOST: MIND

LOST: ROCKETBOOBS
this deadbeat needs a job
I lost my appetite if found please return i am quite hungry.
@WheresTheAnyKey1 He has a job. You need some culture to open your mind. Might I suggest the art of Asbestos? Happy Canada Day!
@1KitKat0 I was thinking of doing this around Toronto! Great minds…unoriginal, but great…
@88Renji88 Before you go accusing people of being retarded, perhaps you should learn to SPELL, “retarded.” Retard.
Really sick of those Yasser Arafat scarves right now.
Thanks Canada for Amy,she’s lovely and from Toronto.
Hey, don’t interview fags like this. They suck.
Gash, get a job!
Thumbs up if you have thumbs!
Haha, I do this alot around my school. The teachers were starting to get angry.
@mjursic oh my gad, a canadien. chet.
So basically he goes his city with stickers he sticks on everything. Not sure if it should be considered art, self expression, or defacing of public and private property. Guess it depends on ones point of view.
Fantastiguia a la magnifique~

this is in ireland.
there is an irish sign “i gconaí! meaning always
his accent, btw im irish
i personally, thought it is really artistic.
omg that is really cool, i want some of thoes stikkers n_n
pitty there was no molly in this tho
The first link doesn’t work.
@sarsattacks well if the solvent is water yes. ever heard of a damp sponge and a little rubbing? usually counteracts the glue. have you never removed a sticker from a car or a building before? honestly its very easy, and pollution isnt an issue with stickers…. paper decomposes when wet. imo a lot better than using aerosol spray paint cans…..
@demosthenets
First of all, I worked in a lab and we need to use solvent to remove adhesive off stickers when testing clarity of glassware of products, even when the stickers were dry.
Also, you really think somebody would remove all those stickers for free? You know where the cities get money to pay for the cleanup? the taxpayers. Do you want somebody to vandalize your schools and libraries with their “art” that nobody really cares about except for the artist and internet bloggers?
@sarsattacks way to be a hater. street art is like a wildflower; sure it’s a weed to some people, but only the bigoted old people are out there spraying it with herbicides. don’t be that bigot
@NiceQuietkid A nice-looking environment is one of the things afforded by tax dollars. One percent of all public works go to art. This is debatable whether or not it’s art, but it’s definitely costing tax dollars to get removed.
wow what an idiot, abusing lost posters so now people will not pay attention to real ones. Nice work moron.
that’s pretty cool, finally some modern art i like
@MasonsTurtle no it wouldn’t without those stickers that guy has no job
I think it’s a good idea to have these things around, they’re quite amusing and people would benefit from the humour they give - might cheer them up slighty after a tough day. But on the other hand, if everyone went around doing this kind of thing then the world would quickly be littered with junk that just boosts someones own prestige or to perhaps gain a career out of it. Maybe art should be kept at…hmm…i dunno…an art exhibition?
Asbestos is the best rock wool.
@ThisisToTellUiHateU: wow what an idiot, abusing the comments section so now people will not pay attention to the real ones. Nice work moron.
More time wasting mother fucker…with drawing skill of a 15 years old…
contemporary arts…..I fucking hate them….
@NiceQuietkid
Do you know what a bigot is? A bigot is somebody who forces his own values onto others. My argument is to RESPECT people’s properties and keep your art to yourself. Forcing your interpretation of art in others’ private property could be considered bigotry. How many people do you think have agreed to let this guy vandalize their property?
@thebighead01 agreed :)
@sarsattacks Yes, mister negative. I’m sorry, but I find it amusing, it’s one of those little smiles during the day.
I really see him more as a benefactor than a vandalist.
Crap art +
Distracting from actual important signs +
Bogus explanation filled with catchy sounding phrases =
Worst thing ever on Rocketboom?
@swg1989
of course it makes you smile, you don’t know the guys who have to remove the stickers! What if that was your grandmother who has to remove those stickers out of her streets?
@sarsattacks - I agree with your overall sentiment, but this guy doesn’t seem to be putting his stickers on peoples windows, or front doors, or cars. These are spaces that usually would be taken over by commercial advertising. Maybe it’s slightly anarchistic, but I’m down for reclaiming a little of the public space for art.
@techfoxpl the cleaning guy doesnt HAVE to remove them. they dont have people that sweep the streets. They have STREET CLEANERS! The giant cars? And alot of people like the sighns and dont CARE! A sticker wont make a difference!
I think its funny
very interesting but it can ‘be used as adhesive for cardboard porthole coins.
Whiskey!)
@donfolstar Thumbs down.
@ThisisToTellUiHateU yeah now whenever i see a lost poster i will automatically think it is him..even if it doesnt look arty or funny..i will totally ignore it. and so will every single other person in the world. thats what he’s done!
lets burn him
@sarsattacks
The best kinds of art transgress any current boundaries, and force us to reevaluate them. Think surrealism in the early 20th century. Street art, whether this kind, or graffitti, is pushing the boundary of ‘where’ we think art can be. Art doesn’t have to hang in a gallery, it can be stuck on a lamppost, or sprayed on a wall.
@SpyCrab This is an Irish accent.
@sarsattacks
Your argument to “RESPECT people’s property and keep your art to yourself” Is nothing if not illogical. Art is expression! Most of this artist’s postings were on pubic property (except for a trash bin) dust bin if you are from England)) and as such he as not violated private property rights. In a time when our ability to express ourselves publicly is more and more constrained, I personally find this young mans expressions much more than healthy. You need to be thankful the common man is not (Presently…) out ripping up the very pavement and chucking it at the precious real estate on Wall St. The sanctimonious concept of private property (Murder all the native americans and set up shop to do our wholesale slave state bidding!) is beyond absurd. We do not own this planet in this solar system, in this galaxy, in this universe. It is our home, and all the oil, timber, platinum, water, fish, lobsters etc. have been bestowed upon us as a very gracious and bountiful gift. While you are busy wrapping tape around the mouths of those who would speak their creative will, those creatives among us will be spitting through it to make our mark!
Orbman
DUBLIN! i live there.
He makes lost stickers asbestos(as best as) he can. LOLOLOL
lame meh
There comes a time when you get pasted over. It’s unavoidable.
Amazing idea!
my grandpa lost his dog in ‘64 and put up a lost poster, so I guess this prick stole this idea from my grandpa.
Or maybe this isnt art at all?
man that guys voice is boring
@mjursic confession confession. I’m in Toronto too! heh, care to get together and do this? Probably not exactly like this, but brainstorming is in progress
I wonder if he made a ‘Lost Game’ sign. Then anybody else who passes by it and gets the joke would probably be using colorful words around the place.
Lost sticker with the word Lost on it.
that is so cool, i love it.
@SakamotoIbuki
WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO ME HOLY FUCKING SHIT?! YOU SONS OF BITCHES BUTCHERED ME!! AAGGHH WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY ARM?! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!! YOU FUCKING DIZZY BITCH, WHAT THE FUCK IS MY FAMILY GONNA THINK OF ME NOW?! AAGGHH, FUCK!!
Steve Moustache Show Ep. 3 FTW.
I really like the idea of this, but…
is this an acceptable form of art, or just another form of vandalism?
@Aoitori365
I think his voice is sexy.

Great execution of cool concept.
