Banksy Sends Us a Holiday Message

Elusive street artist Banksy offered an in-your-face shopping message today in London, just in time for the holidays.

Elusive street artist Banksy offered an in-your-face shopping message today in London, just in time for the holidays. A new stencil and spray-paint piece appeared in East London today, a short distance from the city's financial district. It reads, "Sorry! The lifestyle you ordered is currently out of stock." And on another unused building, he depicts a woman who has lost one of her high heels free falling from the sky, while trying to keep hold of her shopping cart filled with possessions escaping her grasp. See photos of Banksy's latest now.

With the help of drunk Mickey and Minnie, Banksy left his mark on Los Angeles with this naughty billboard. Unfortunately, city officials have already removed it, perhaps not knowing how much it's worth. The street artist, whose documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop is nominated for an Oscar, is in town for the awards show. Check out Banksy's latest below.

Street artist Banksy has become the art world's biggest mainstream success since Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami hit the scene, so it was only a matter of time before his designs started showing up in unexpected places. My favorite recent use of his art are these unauthorized Banksy Temporary Tattoos ($11), which showcase some of the artist's most iconic graffiti pieces. I'd definitely try on the cute little rat and heart sketch, but are any of these something you'd put on your skin for a week?

Cool Idea: Create Wall Art With Records

When I was researching ideas for storing vinyl records, I happened upon this adorable idea for using old records as artwork.
by

When I was researching ideas for storing vinyl records, I happened upon this adorable idea for using old records as artwork. Featured at the Hardware Gallery in May in its Medium: Vinyl exhibition, old vinyl records were either used as canvases or incorporated within the artwork. It would be easy to riff on this idea using your own stencils and records. Does that little girl look familiar to you? Find out where she was first seen when you read more

Banksy Makes a Statement on The Simpsons — Bold or Baffling?

On this week's episode of The Simpsons, the mysteriously buzz-worthy graffiti artist Banksy put his famous tags all over the title sequence.

On this week's episode of The Simpsons, the mysteriously buzz-worthy graffiti artist Banksy put his famous tags all over the title sequence. The artist's presence didn't simply end there, though: following the standard opening credits, the audience is taken to what looks like a sweatshop, where Asian works are seemingly forced to help animate the Fox cartoon and provide promotional merchandise.

It's a bleak social commentary to say the least, featuring child labor, dungeons, and animal cruelty. Apparently it's in response to recent reports that Fox outsources animation to South Korea, and the dark short film created an issue for both the broadcasting and animation department at Fox. I can't blame them; while the sequence makes a statement (albeit one that may go over most casual viewers' heads), it can't be good for Fox's reputation. How do you feel about Banksy's sequence?

Guerilla Artist Banksy Has Official Exhibit in His Hometown

Anonymous in the age of celebrity and making artwork with social commentary while other artists cash in, graffiti artist Banksy has intrigued audiences with his art and identity since he began stencilling/vandalizing public property in the early '90s. (No official image of the guy exists!) Known for installing his own work surreptitiously in museums, Banksy helped mount a surprise exhibit in his hometown — Banksy versus Bristol Museum. The exhibit is supposed to be Banksy's way of thanking Bristol for giving his street art its first canvas.
