My hero idol...


I just got swept up in nostalgia that I forgot the true reason for blogging today. This Tuesday. This fine Tuesday that had a Muni back-up and caused this city dweller to be 45 minutes late to work. Oh Tuesday. Tuesdays have never been my thing. I always feel a little off on Tuesday. Things start to go into limbo on Tuesday, making an awkward transition to the rest of the week. Its also about this time that I start really wishing it were Friday.

Anywho, I found this article about Banksy's latest hit! For those of you not in the know, Banksy is this artist who has been known to replace works of art with his own "versions" of them. As well as many grafittied walls and famous replicas all over the world. His latest target: Paris Hilton. I wont go into detail because I know ifyou're reading this you can read the article in the link, but basically, Banksy made a artistic masterpiece.(Note: he doesnt actually paint on orginials or steal artwork. So all you art majors, chill the eff out.)

BREAKING NEWS. As Im writing this post, I find a new article from about 12 hours ago, that Banksy has hit Disneyland! In the Big Thunder Mountain Ride, Banksy placed an inflatable doll dressed up as a Guantanamo Bay inmate. The figure went unoticed(at least by park officials) for about 90 minutes. As you can see, Banksy is all about the statement.
