A beautiful example of irony has forced me to remove these fake subtalk posters from my site. A few years ago, I made these as a gag in my spare time, but now I’m actually making real honest-to-god Subtalk posters for NYC! (They’re for a homeless awareness campaign – hopefully you New Yorkers will see them soon.) I figured it was in poor taste to keep my parody ads on my personal site… I’m sure you’ll agree, dear reader.
UPDATE:You can more about the campaign here.

How did you get the job? I’ve always thought it’d be cool to design those signs for the MTA.

@Alita, I was working as creative director at DCF Advertising at the time. DCF does a lot of stuff for the city, and this was one of many projects that came up. If you’re interested, I updated the text above to include a link to the photos and a photography tutorial on how I processed the images.

Do you know if the subtalk posters available to buy anywhere? I have a friend from New Zealand who spent tons of time reading the mta posters and there are a couple I’d pay anything to send him.

@Liz – The link above leads you to a fairly high resolution image of one of the posters I designed. Let me know if you’d like a higher rez PDF of it and I’ll post it here, free of course. If you want other subtalk posters I’m afraid I won’t be more helpful to you than Google. Cheers!
