Using wigs and wardrobe changes, Jones reenacted each realtor's pose as closely as he could, then pasted the results over the original images on benches around Minneapolis.
While it could (accurately) be described as vandalism, the project's rapid explosion in popularity since Jones posted it on Reddit is also helping to bring national attention to a few local real estate agents with modest ad budgets.
