Steve "p0ps" HarlowI like this, too. I suppose it's a wide lens doing that, but, it could be a pano - either way, in a way, it's more informative than the other, normal lens, flat image.

Lord JimAll your street are belong to us!
Grats on the All Stars show Jake, ...that shindig must rule!!
Mr. Artistico (GGtW)More generic rats. Im just so glad Banksy is putting his wealth to good use. Wait, I just realized that painter was painted on. Okay, that's kinda cool
nolionsinenglandI wonder if Banksy specifically had you in mind when he dreamt up his statement on this show yesterday:
"If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art." (extract)
clsc.dk photos - NOT FOR USE ON FACEBOOK DAMMIT!!!Very interesting reasoning, thanks for posting your thoughts. As I'm doing a book I've thought about that for myself a few times; where to draw the line. When is it street and when isn't it?
It's just not easy to draw a solid line anywhere.

Enough rambling, thanks for the great tuna picture... ehrm...dolphin.
money isn't reallol dude, get over yourself. no offense i dig your site and pics. i view it often, but you just sound really lame here. it seems like ur tryin to give yourself street cred for "only taking pics on the streeettzzz like all the hip hoppin be boppin kidz like". haha im not tryin to hate real hard but i gotta speak up when i see some silly statement like that. like tthis installation especially is somethin that couldnt be done on the streets and is really funny. im just sdayin why limit yourself to only taking pics on the streets when obviously you go to the gallery shows. if you so hxc then boycott galleries all together. i usually stick up for you if people hate on you or whatever but that statement is lame
Crank Junky"Last summer an article, which may or may not have been serious, appeared in the London Daily Mirror reporting "a plague of drug-crazed squirrels" in Central Park. The squirrels, the article stated, had chewed on "half-empty vials of crack dumped by addicts," and, "high on crack," began attacking "lunch-time walkers." Manhattan skeptics doubted not only that addicts would throw out half-used crack vials but also that city squirrels would take up the habit." - National Wildlife Magazine
knowonesrealthats fuckin bad ass......
but i seriously have never met a cracky monster that loses or throws away crack.....and the last time i checked "squirrels" dont eat glass....
so i cant see the nibbling up glass dicks left in the park
miserloujonesCrack dealers on my block in Philly trained a bunch of chickens to eat crack so when the cops shook them down they'd just drop it and the chickens would eat it.
Seriously.
gaia.streetartthis shit is going to get so hit in the ensuing months.
BonusSavesI guess that would be going along with the statement, "to all the REAL night creatures" ;)
and it went over existing graffiti, so i'm sure some of those guys will be back. But what's one freaking huge mural without local add-on's?
nolionsinenglandHas some elements in common with a (brief) "protest" intervention by British artist gEoRGE at the opening show at Cans Festival, London, May 2008.
more from gEoRGE here
sabeth718these are nice, big pieces and all, but i wish he'd get down and dirty and do a few stencils himself. even just a little rat or two.
abandonviewthis is an important statement none the less.
MISS ROXEEgive it a matter of time, till someone comes with paint and splash it.
guero:i like this one much more. and i actually like that its big, it speaks to more people who might not otherwise see a normal banksy and its pretinent to whats happening.
tobinbridge fake?
Ω ohm Ω Yes fake and not done. The owner wanted this so get more business around his store. Kinda smart.
tobinbridge really? that is pretty smart.
