Shop Dropping

In my digital arts class I learned about this new form of art that is basically the opposite of shop-lifting. Underground artists go into stores and buy products like T-Shirts from American Outfitters, Coca-Cola Bottles from supermarkets, and other items that are popular in America today. They then proceed to either make new labels for them, screen print their own logos, or make stickers to put on display. The cool part about it is many underground artists get their work out and can make a political statement on the advertisement attitudes of our culture.

Here are some pictures I found:
