Urban advertisement on the streets (finally)

I have always thought that graffiti would be the most attractive way to advertise a product that is aimed at the age between 16 - 28, I found an advertisement in manchester that proved my point of graffiti being used as an advertisement and i found this ....

This is located in the northern quarter near the font bar, this is an advert for converse and this has been done using paint and spray paint. spray paint would've been used for the bigger parts such as the body and legs, the smaller more detailed parts would've been done with a brush and maybe watercolours for blending skin tone.

As you can see the detail is extraordinary and this proves that graffiti can be used as an advertisement technique.

This peice is located on the side of the printworks, i think that this method is not yet confident enough to be out in the middle of manchester, i feel that some people are not really ready for something so urban and thugish yet so they're trying to Creep this technique into the modern world.
