Banksy does Gaza (Dec 2007)

A rare phone interview w/ Banksy, menjelaskan mengapa dia did some work on the Gaza wall.

and no, the old dude below is not Banksy,  just click play damn it Laughing alt : http://www.youtube.com/v/2QPgamTEe5I&rel=1


Di thn 2005, dia juga sudah graced his presence di Gaza wall. pics below...as usual, a combo of wit,sarcasm & dark humour, rolled into one.

"look ma...it's actually a lovely beach behind the wall, we've been tricked"

Ben Eine: Alphabet Demigod

Another favorite of mine: Ben Eine, street artist yg street artnya focus di menggambarkan huruf2 alfabet dengan style2 baru a'la Eine, dan juga creating new styles of letters (ie.Elton,Circus,etc). Pada mulanya dia mencoret2 pintu garasi toko2 di Inggris, lalu mulai melebar ke tembok2, baik di Inggris maupun di luar Inggris. 2 minggu lalu gue baru balik dari Bali, dan gue lihat ada graffiti "Eine" dengan font style Circus, sayang gue nggak bawa camera, gue email ke Ben Eine utk konfirmasi apakah benar dia yg put up that Eine sign, dan ternyata confirmed dia banyak spray some graffiti di Bali di thn 2004 dan 2005... a nice and friendly fellow.
