In the great tradition of
Posterboy and
Posterchild, an artist named
The Decapitator—whose work was previously spotted in
London,
Paris and
Sao Paulo—has been leaving his funny, bloody mark on
New York billboards lately. Earlier this week he even organized a scavenger hunt (illegally, of course) at the Union Square
Barnes & Noble, where he's planted several copies of this month's
Rolling Stone with Shakira's head chopped off (
like so). There may still be a few hidden copies in the store, but even if they're all gone you should check out
his work. (
