Surreal Art

Unflattering Imitations Text by David Boyer Photos by Elana Koff What do Starbucks, Apple Computers and Levi's have in common? Recent ad campaigns from all three companies are the subject of oh-so-clever parodies on display right now in and around the city. Here's some before-and-after shots for you. Levi's before and after (in the music listings of the SF Weekly). Apple before and after (corner of Church and Duboce). Starbucks before and after (bulletin board at Horseshoe Café). Seen any other works of street art you think the kids should know about? Help us catalog the scene by sending a photo (or at least the location) to Real Art c/o Metropolitan, 1776A 18th St., SF 94107 (or email us: [email protected]).
