    We all know the media likes to exaggerate or completely fabricate news stories, especially if they don't understand what is happening because they do not want to lose the story to somebody else. After fabricating such a fake story this story will start to live it's own life being picked up by other media companies.
    As a graffiti community we poses the ability to see how far media World Wide would go into making up a story and toy with them a little in the progress.

    That’s the reason for this challenge. Let’s spread a completely meaningless image as wide as we can, no message no hidden symbolism nothing just an image.
    For the image an unknown face is chosen, a face because this will stand out more than a symbol and an unknown person so the message will remain meaningless.

    The Challenge:
    Spread this face as much as you can. Think Posters, Flyers, Stencils, Pieces, Stickers, any other media you can think of and let’s see how the media will react when a meaningless face is spread worldwide without anybody knowing why.

    Feel free to use your own style when spreading the face but there are a few rules to keep the continuity:
    -keep the face black and white with blue eyes.
    -Add no symbols text or words keep the piece completely meaningless
    -Do not add names or sign the piece
    -Feel free to spread the word but keep it within the graffiti comunity.
    -Give the media NOTHING let them figure out a story on their own

    Let’s see how wide spread we can get and what the media will make out of it!

    Post media stories and pictures of the pieces you find(/made) in this thread
