The difference between San Francisco and New York as told by Banksy art left in the Cities.

It is obvious New York City and San Francisco have different personalities. Maybe none too obvious as to what we see here.

NEW YORK. BANKSY LEAVES A LIL NOSE PICKIN LIBERTY.

NEW YORK: IF YOU AIN'T FROM HERE, THEN YOU ARE NOTHING!

SAN FRANCISCO. BANKSY LEAVES A TREE.

SAN FRANCISCO: THANKS FOR SHARING, WE LIKE YOUR VISION AND WILL ADD TO IT.

Thanks to nuclearwinterart.wordpress.com and control@tvsquad.com for some of the pics.

Banksy's thoughts on Phish?

Banksy/Phish Shirt



So, um, yeah. I am sure this is exactly what Banksy had in mind when he developed his signature Rat image.


This is to be said in your best Muffled Stealthy British Voice ( the way he sounds in this trailer)





So, keep that voice on while reading the following:

Yeah, so I developed the Banksy Rat, because you know, Rats are everywhere, but no one wants to think about em. Sort of like how a typical Phish Head ignores-the tour rat (the non showering-follow around that Vermont-wish they were the Grateful Dead-Jam band-loitering outside the show venues begging for free tickets, all the while making fun of the people they are asking the free tickets from. Yeah, and then one day, one of those "tour rats" could come up with the idea to capitalize on my art as well as the so called art that are "Phish Lyrics". The smelly little Americans will sell a shirt slightly changing an image I created. Then this tour rat will go to venues like Deer Creek, Alpine Valley, the Greek and/or Telluride, CO. pretending to be free love hippies, when in reality they are Free Market Loving Capitalists (Tea-Party like, if you will- even though the Tea Party hadn't been invented yet at the time of this Mock Banksy Thought). Oh, it will be so nice to have my well thought out Politically charged-Rat Image, changed to the awe-inspiring Phish Lyric "Bag it, Tag it" . No shit, I can't wait!

Here is Banksy's image:



Here is the Phish lot shirt:

Banksy: Goin Goin Gone! or Diamonds WERE a girls best friend

the elusive street artist known as Banksy has certainly been putting his stamp on the States.. dozens in the past several weeks. We here at Short Attention What? will do our best at providing the evolution of Mr. B's work as best we can.

It appears that Diamond Girl First Made her American Debut "taped live in Hollywood" at the premier for Exit through the gift shop.... as part of the promotional Truck parked in front of the theatre.... shown below





The Exit Truck took a good ole fashioned American Roadtrip from SoCal,USA
shown below..

Once in Detroit... she found some stencil-native Soil- Brick...

the question is ...will there be a follow up? Perhaps at some gallery in 50 years from now? if so, we will bump this post up..i'm sure all of us at short attention what? will be blogging from retirement homes well into our 90's. Whats that you say? You don't beleive blogs will be relevant or even exist in the 2060's? to that good sir, I say HOW DARE THEE!
