The BBC News has an article showing a poll about asking people who is the artist they most respect. Walt Disney was the "Most Respected" artist among 18-25 year olds, and number four among all ages(Leonardo Da Vinci was number one... who's he? Just kidding.). The Top Five Art Heroes (18-25) are: 1...
What I thought she was doing: Standing on her chair, looking out of the window and watching the world go by. Looking out for daddy's big red car. Keeping tabs on "Towels", the enormous dog next door. Pointing out birds and trees and pussy cats. What she was actually doing: Thoughtfully decorating my...
On Saturday Tom found a note attached to our mailbox, It said, Do you remember a while back I posted about borrowing shoes from the neighbor?

Reading... I bought this book today after it found it's way onto my desk at work. I was telling a co-worker about Guerrilla Gardening and how I was looking forward to this book being released. It had been ordered for the store but I wasn't expecting it to be here so soon! I've only had a chance to...
Is anyone else getting hella sick of Banksy? In case you missed the 'Marmaduke'-deep subtext here, this is a painting of people lining up to buy a shirt that says 'Destroy Capitalism' on it. Get it? They're buying a shirt with an anti-capitalist message on it! This is as motherfucking ironic as...
[Ed. Note: Marielaem hipped me to this story, and I am grateful.] A group of south London graffiti artists were jailed last week for up to two years for defacing public property. Yet as they begin their sentences, their work is to be championed by a New York gallery. By Arifa Akbar and Paul Vallely...
Whenever I submit a trading order, I always like to see my trade on the tape. It's like spray painting a penis on the side of the NYSE building, except with more upside and less downside. Unless, of course, you are Banksy.
