Wooo! Roger and Joe were named "Best Guerrilla Artists" by the Independent Weekly Best Of Issue. See:

And in case you can't find it, it says:
Best Guerilla Artists
Joe McTaggert and Roger Ehrlich
When it comes to mixing politics and art, you can't beat the team of Garner's Joe McTaggert and Cary's Roger Ehrlich. The two have spent the last few years turning salvaged campaign yard signs into antiwar pop art by flipping them over and painting a new, more radical message on the other side. Ehrlich, founder of Public Assembly, has hit antiwar demos from NYC to D.C. to the School of the Americas, always driving his brightly painted Peace Truck, replete with a larger-than-life message. Despite breakdowns and constant hassles from police, the McTaggert-Ehrlich team has prevailed. Once at the peace action, they unload various art props and welcome excited kids (and adults) to paint peace messages on umbrellas, which Ehrlich calls "peace parasols."

Pretty cool!
