Moving Violations is an exhibition of selected artworks by homeless men and women living in San Diego. Its name is derived from a common civil-code infraction often given to the homeless.
To advertise the show, the immediate idea was to design a poster that really was cheap and done by hand, and didn’t just look that way. A color photocopy of a selected painting was glued to a piece of butcher-block paper that had a screen of hand-scrawled typography. Each poster was then crumpled before being posted.
