Mr. Green "Beautiful Stuff" (North Philly Graffiti Montage Part 2).

Last night I met a tattoo/graffiti artist bombing a wall (albeit with the premises's permission).  Below you can check out a video of him doing the same...

There is a graffiti-themed cocktail mixer set out now that I'm not sure how I feel about, but this pen is kind of cool...

Banksy x Danger Mouse

Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi - Two Against One - starring Jack White.

Rome (2011) from Danger Mouse +  Daniele Luppi "starring" Jack White and Norah Jones is coming out next week.  Click here to check out two instances of pretty cool promotions going on for the project, one of which is an HTML5 interactive film ("3 Dreams Of Black) from Chris Milk, who did a similarly Google Chrome-optimized project for Arcade Fire.  Take a gander below for the Banksy x Danger Mouse Paris Hilton take-down...

Over the weekend, British papers discovered that Banksy, the artist who notoriously sneaked fake versions of famous paintings into art galleries last year, replaced as many as 500 retail store copies of Paris Hilton's debut CD with a retouched and remixed version. Now, it has been revealed that Danger Mouse -- the producer behind Gnarls Barkley, Gorillaz, and the famous Grey Album -- is behind the remix portion of the disc. Along with completely reworked liner notes that included topless photos of Paris slathered with slogans like "Every CD you buy puts me even further out of your league," the CD featured remixes of Hilton songs by someone credited as "DM," letters that stand for Danger Mouse. The song titles were also changed to names like "Why Am I Famous," "What Have I Done," and "What Am I For." According to an email from his management company obtained by SPIN.com, Danger Mouse met Banksy in London while shopping for disguises. The two had one singular statement about the project: "It's hard to improve on perfection, but we had to try." (Via.)

And now, Banksy was interrupted in L.A. doing the mural below.  He ran away, leaving the a couple stickers that look like the one to be seen below.

"People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish. But that's only if it's done properly."

In 2005, Bansky tagged the Palestinian-side of the controversial wall that Israel has erected for purposes of "safety."

"All art is propaganda;

 on the other hand,

 not all propaganda is art."

 - Georg Orwell

Banksy's site offers two snippets of conversations with an Israeli soldier and a Palestinian who happened upon him while he was in the process of creating the series of nine pieces on the Wall, in Bethlehem, Abu Dis, and Ramallah.

Soldier: What the fuck are you doing?

Me: You'll have to wait til it's finished.

Soldier: (to colleagues): Safety's off.

Banksy is the anti-Leni Riefenstahl and anti-Richard Wagner, reclaiming public spaces as a space for public imagination and enlightenment where they have become propagandistic barriers to thought and awareness, as is the very terminology for Israel's West Bank barrier itself. Banksy's summer project on Israel's Wall stands out as one of the most pertinent artistic and political commentaries in recent memory.

Bansky has a documentary coming out that will be screened in select cities April 16th through May 21st.
