    that artist deserves praise for even being able to complete those paintings without vomiting at the thought of naked brian cowen cry

    read this on sunday


    love this bit



    Bemused officers told management, however, that it was unlikely the rogue artist had committed any type of criminal offence.



    imagine the courtcase

    It's heavly influenced by Banksy's antics to the point of rip off (tribute?). Still funny and great skill but Banksey is the man though.

    Banksy's gorgeous specimen discovered in the NY Museum of Natural History in March of last year, is a stealthy prototype for an entomomechanophilic army. Today, we'll let the caustic insight of Dr. Hellstrom carry us away:

    That's gas. I love the statement from the gallery:


    "The gallery does not allow unauthorised displays. One can only surmise that it was an action by someone seeking to use the gallery for self-promotion or other reasons."

    i don't know if you could say he is 'ripping off' banksy... it's not like he invented the political/art stunt. blek le rat was doing similar stuff in paris in the eighties and someone else probably influenced him.


    i was more interested to see RTE bowing to FF pressure and apologizing for broadcasting the images on the nine o clock news. what happened to a bit of journalistic integrity/backbone? what exactly did FF have in mind by way of retribution?

    Yeah, 'ripping off' is a bit much. I'm all for it. Anything that rattles cages is ok in my book, and if you can make people laugh while you're doing it all the better.
