Exit Through The Gift Shop

While we're waiting for some new work to pop up somewhere I thought advise all you guys that haven't seen it to go grab Banksy's documentary, Exit Through The Gift Shop. It features loads of street artists and in particular follows the story of Mr Brainwash. It's a great film, here's the first 5 minutes:

Banksy Brighton Wall To Be Flown To USA

A piece of wall bearing one of Banksy’s most iconic works has been flown to America to be sold.

Experts predict the kissing policeman, painted on the wall of the Prince Albert pub in Trafalgar Street, Brighton in 2004, could reach in excess of £1 million.

The image became a tourist attraction in Brighton (which has a large gay community)  and one of the most famous ‘street Banksys’ in the country.

But owner of the Albert, Chris Steward, says it is time for the policemen to leave Brighton and fly to New York where a private dealer has shown an interest in auctioning them off.

Banksy in LA

Welcome to my blog on the world infamous Banksy. I'll be updating this blog whenever a new Banksy piece pops up somewhere and will also re-visit old pieces and report any Banksy news. Hope you enjoy, thanks for looking!

Banksy recently hit up LA just before the Oscars to promote his nominated film "Exit Through The Gift Shop". Unfortunately he didn't win in the Best Documentary category but at least we got some quality street art out of it :

 

As you can see, some great pieces there, I particularly like the the crayon style that he's been using lately. Another one of his latest pieces in Camden used the same technique:
