Do you feel alienated by the Council's approach to 2008? Well one organisation in particular has decided to literally take the law into their own hands. They plan to decorate the city with posters that truly represent what culture means to people by printing out stories and pictures from people who contact them directly.

"We do not intend to vandalise or break any law that some people see as fair," a spokesperson said. "This is why we have decided to target areas that are already covered in posters that have nothing to do with Liverpool."

They plan to 'brighten up the city', by showing your words or artwork across the city, designed as large posters and 'illegally' flyposting them on designated areas where adverts for national tours or totally commercial adverts appear.

"All we are pointing out is that adverts for large corporations cannot be seen as cultural whereas the work of those who live in the city is. That's why we will be covering the posters of anyone who is just advertising large national events in spots we were told were allocated for us. This is not intended to cause trouble, well maybe a little bit."

If you would like to have a poster of your words or anything else printed, and then posted up you can contact artisnowdead@hotmail.com. We would, however, like to point out that flyposting is illegal for some people in this city and this organisation is not linked to Nerve or any other group whose views are expressed within this article.
