On the Wall
This has been a trip of visual firsts - my first beautiful Blake prints at Tate Liverpool, the first much lauded Picasso, a few cheeky Warhols and my favourite to date - a piece by modern Brit icon Mr. Banksy.
We found it off Oxford St; the ‘discovery’ felt pretty excellent, tucked in behind a Royal Mail Depot. You can’t see it in my picture, sorry, but there’s also a bobby taking a photo of the kid. It’s all very meta - like recording a television and playing it on the television. Some one out there is always watching you in London. Also, hilariously, a guy yelled at me while taking the image that I ‘was adding to the camera problem’.
Also in the graf space: In Brick Lane I spotted part of one of Blu’s freaking cool animated paintings and a couple of Space Invaders. Jolly good.

How cool is that … a travel outfit that steers people towards exploring their individual interests, predilections and fantasies rather than simply herding them off on Another Bluddy Church tour.
Idiosyncratic tourism used to be unobtainably off the wall.
Now it’s not ! Woohoo !

Awesome. That is pretty big!
What a sweet discovery, Banksy, slamming you in the face with his wee public decree.
And as much as it would’ve been exciting to find this, I’m stoked you posted it and I can go have a look,and see if its still there (if i win the trip). This is a pretty choice site for that sort of sharing.
