This is the latest in Elfo‘s contextual faces series. I really enjoy these because they are simple, but they provide so much joy.

I think it’s fair to say that these three pieces that have just appeared in San Fransisco over the last few days are all by Banksy. Nothing confirmed yet on his website though. Two (the piece pictured above and the rat below) are above street level, and one is at street level. I think This’ll …

If you’re in Manchester next month, you’ll have a chance to see Herakut and Aryz painting live at Eurocultured, a street festival. I don’t know much more than that, but it sounds like something worth checking out. Plus Eurocultured has like 1000 other things going on at the same time (art, music, breakdancing…). On a …
