a new exhibit

if you can recall a post from a few months back, graffiti artist Banksy had invited New York City residents into his "pet shop"

well now he is inviting his hometown of Bristol to take a look at his biggest exhibit yet. not only does it show his pet shop, but also showcases highlights from his career.















starting out as a graffiti artist on the streets of bristol, banksy has become one of the world's most soughtafter artists, particulary because of his refusal to expose himself to the public (lawsuits and what not - he's a graffiti artist).

his anthology of work is the world's bestselling art book, especially in my generation. i can't tell you the last time i went to a friend's apartment and didn't see his anthology on their coffee tables.


so to all of my uk readers (um... if any) - go!
