Australian artist headed to America's most liberal cities to take on gun owners

[PeterD]

Acclaimed Australian street artist Peter Drew is about to tackle the hottest issue in the US in his own unique way — by plastering 500 posters with the words “Australia” and “it works” on walls around [America's most anti-gun cities of] New York City, San Franciso and Los Angeles.

The South Australian-based artist behind the Real Australians Say Welcome campaign knows that by doing so he’ll make a lot of people unhappy. And that’s part of the job.

“To be honest, there’s a certain amount of fear and anxiety,” Mr. Drew told news.com.au.

“You don’t know what the response is going to be like. Online it’s safe to be provocative but when you’re sticking stuff up on the street you’re exposed. I worry about that but that’s what’s special about the street.”

Someone needs to follow him around with spray paint, crossing out "it works", stencil-spraying the shape of Australia over the broken rifle and adding "Go Back!"

Of course, if he tries this in gangland, the problem will take care of itself...
