So I am not exactly exposing my self to a new artist. This is one I have known about for awhile. I saw his video on youtube. I saw his book at Urban Outfitters, my friend did a report on him for school. This guy is wonderfully interesting. His art is amazing. So instead of exposing myself to a new, as I do most every day, I am hopefully exposing you to a new artist, or bringing him back into your memory.
One of his famous works is on the side of a building in Brighton, England. I saw it with my own two eyes. We were on our way back to the train station after spending much needed time with our cousins. We were headed back to Horsham to leave for America the next day. My cousin asked me if I knew who Banksy was, I said yes and she said well there is one of his most famous works. It was amazing, rumor is the city wanted to wash it away but the Bobbies (police) wanted to keep it up, so it is now protected by plexi glass! The work is of two Bobbies embracing and kissing.
Also, in Brighton, they give graffiti artists walls to express themselves. I took loads of pictures of them but cannot seem to locate them. My brother is going to check his computer, if he has them then I will def post them!
I want to let you all know that there ARE $5 shirts on Threadless so go check them out!
Check out this awesome t-shirt site Threadless, you will love this one just as much as Shortbus Clothing. This company belongs to a friend of mine and some of his friends! Enjoy.
