Designer breaks up with L.A. on 5 billboards

Jon Jackson, a Los Angeles-based designer, is skipping town for a creative-director job at Huge in New York. But first, he's ending it with L.A. properly by placing five breakup billboards around town. The AdiosLA site explains: "Paul Simon never mentioned this. You can slip out the back Jack or you can put up five 10 x 23 foot billboards in your neighborhood. … Not wanting to string L.A. along, [Jackson] has decided to firmly break it off through a graphic billboard series posted on the famous streets of his first love.
