A friend sent me this, I have no idea of its ori­gin and it is fairly creepy but also inc­re­dibly bri­lliant and a great way to open my new blog gallery. If anyone does know its ori­gin etc. please don’t hesi­tate to con­tact me, I would love to see more of this artist’s work.

The Revolution will not be Terrorised

War is good for the eco­nomy, like can­ni­ba­lism is nutritious

Bris­tol born Banksy has been in the news as of late, his art on the Pales­tine West Bank Barrier has cau­sed quite a stir. He’s pop­ping up all over the media.

DanSTC says (and I agree): This in my opi­nion, is exactly what the *best* kind of art can and should be about. Cha­llen­ging people’s per­cep­tions, and pro­vi­ding a means of com­men­ting on the ludic­rous­ness of real life. The man, Banksy, is a true art-warrior. Abso­lute genius. 

Attic Treasures and Easy Rider Rare Vintage Posters

Jul 25 2005

In a bid to clean up parts of the house we deci­ded to rum­mage through our attic to make space for more boxes of things we don’t really need but like to keep. We remo­ved some old boxes and loo­ked through them, most of it was junk. Door hand­les, screws, locks, metal brac­kets, paint brushes, wall­pa­per, bro­ken things and lots of dust. Howe­ver we did come across a bag con­tai­ning two large rolls, upon clo­ser ins­pec­tion they were my Dad’s old pos­ters. These pos­ters look pretty darn cool and I’m trying to value them at the moment.

Easy Rider Pos­ters, very rare and vintage:

Art Pieces I may purchase

May 7 2005

ImageI’ve deci­ded that I would like some ‘pro­per’ art to grace the walls of my room. I have film pos­ters of the gene­ric ‘movie loving teen boy’ aka the matrix, kill bill, etc… . I also have a large nuc­lear explo­sion photo and a ras­tur­ba­tion of Marilyn Mon­roe “popa­ganda”. But I’m not satis­fied. I want something with style I guess. So I began brow­sing shops and art​.com for prints that I liked. I found few that struck me but there were 3 I abso­lu­tely loved:

a) “Sphin­xes with Dic­tio­nary” by Fran­cine Van Hove

b) “Bunny Dres­sing” by Michael Sowa

c) Japa­nese import Ame­lie pos­ter (fea­tu­ring Sowa’s art)

There was also a lovely cof­fee and crois­sants photo I nearly purcha­sed in the local arty shop on campus.
