Some crackers in here.

This post is a great example of why I love Blonde so much.  I can come on hear and read about poker obviously but I can also read the diaries of people who don't even play that much poker and find out about things as diverse as Gypsy culture and trains, I can debate religion and politics, share TV and book recommendations and have someone come on and share something as amazing as these pieces of art and, unlike most others places you are always guaranteed that responses will be intelligent and respectful.

Some absolutely amazing art in there.  I wish I had even an ounce of the creativity of these guys.  Banksy best British artist ever for me.

Wow, some truly great stuff in there, thanks

Love them.

Someone sent me a link about this fella yesterday, Chinese bloke who paints himself into the background of scenes. Very clever stuff:

Some fab stuff there. This type of art really rocks my boat.

This fella has been my favourite for ever though

I live in the next valley to him & was lucky enough to find what I reckon was a practice attempt at the work below when walking from Penpont to home.

He's got a few other works nearby including one of his drystone eggs & a moon gate. Bit of a pseuds neck of the woods where he's based with Joanna Lumley & Alex Kyprianos (sp?) from France Ferdinand  also living down there.

Nice, hopefully they'll remain unspoiled.

I clicked a link in the OP and it led to a Facebook album with even more

Goldsworthy

Fantastic stuff.

Love that one!!

There's a whole sub-genre all about editing signs to make them funny/poke holes in society - some very clever ones been done.

Canal street in Manchester had its sign edited by someone. Canal street is/was the main gay area in Manchester. After editing it looked like this-

Blek Le Rat, ahead of his time?

1 or 2 clever ones here - but they're more humour than poking holes in authority.

Aye - was ahead of his time - to be fair Banksy has always given him credit as an inspiration.

Incred website, tyty

Loving this.

My fav is Jekyll & Hyde.


"We're not entirely sure why, either." Probably just to use up his old newspapers pal. (http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k245/Andrewr05/FACEPALM/doh.gif)

missed this last year. Some incred work in there! Would love to have an artistic bone in my body!

These are brilliant. I am a frequent visitor to the museums and galleries around Edinburgh and hadn't even heard this story before

Thanks
