Ride of my Life

It’s a coat stand made of steel and polyester rope that looks just like a lasso. It’d work great for a cowboy bar. That’s about it.  I’m not sure where else it’d go.  Ask my wife.  The only reason I posted this though was because i’m a cowboy at heart. :)

Banksy is by far my favorite Street Artist.  For the longest time, no one knew who he really was.  Well…a couple of weeks ago, that all changed.  Mail on Sunday broke the story and revealed who Banksy really was.  I’ve been meaning to highlight some of his work for awhile now.  But first an excerpt from the story. There was also a good piece done on Banksy in Time and also Gawker.

He is perhaps the most famous, or infamous, artist alive. To some a genius, to others a vandal. Always controversial, he inspires admiration and provokes outrage in equal measure.

Since Banksy made his name with his trademark stencil-style ‘guerrilla’ art in public spaces – on walls in London, Brighton, Bristol and even on the West Bank barrier separating Israelis and Palestinians – his works have sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds.

He has dozens of celebrity collectors including Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera.

My favorite.

My second favorite.

I can appreciate chair art.

Some interesting work at Poladoodles.

The idea formed when I started exercising spontaneous drawing and found that I had a bunch of less than perfect Polaroid shots that I couldn’t let go to waste. Each of these photographs became a tiny canvas for me to doodle, and Poladoodles were born!
