TrustoCorp vs. Mr. Brainwash: Manufactured Drama

Trustocorp tags Mr. Brainwash on the wall of Lasso Pizza at Kenmare Street.

In what is shaping up to be the street art world's very own Andy Kaufman vs. Jerry Lawler, TrustoCorp, the street sign embellisher, has begun a campaign against Mr. Brainwash's work. They "...took out Mr Brainwash in Manhattan," TrustCorp bragged, adding, "It had to be done."

Lost Duck? Call Mr. Brainwash AKA Douchewash

These yellow flyers have been posted all over SoHo, the East Village and neighboring streets last week (see: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). The series above, however, has been altered and offer clues to whomever is looking for a lost duck. (Click through for larger version). One message directs you to call "Mr. Brainwash AKA Douchewash," and the other two leave names and phone numbers. Those are your leads. You can skip Steve's number, area code 431. That area code does not exist.
