Right-on Brighton!!

The Pennisula and some sunshine.

Bus stops are usually irresistable targets for taggers. As I was out enjoying that strange big yellow thing in our sky at the weekend I noticed all the bus stops out on the pennisula didn’t attract much tagging at all.  I think the solution might be real easy – dont leave them a blank canvas. Here are a few of the bus stops out on Pennisula Rd. Check out our fickr site for other cool stuff on the pennisunla.

Cheers Jesse,
Great to get some stuff from different parts of the world. It’s a wee bit different from our Dunedin stuff, although the weather looks the same in the photo.

How to spot a Banksy

A really interesting article in the BBC news. (thanks Quinn) There are heaps of other articles on Banksy following revelations of his ‘identity.’ (Though I’m yet to be convinced, still all sounds a little sketchy, plus it works for me – not knowing who he is)
Moving on… this article takes a look Banksy’s “trademark styles” and has some great comments from readers. Check out: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7190137.stm

For other Banksy articles while you’re on the BBC website, just type ‘Banksy’ in the Search box at the top right of the page.
Happy reading.

This is one of my personal favourites. It sums up, beautifully, the social values so many hold dear today. Bloody funny tho’

Even God Loves Graffiti

Brenda Harwood, a reporter from The Star, ran an article on the graffiti mural painted on the The Elim Christian Centre down on Anzac Ave. This project was partly funded by the Dunedin City Council and our Mayor, Peter Chin was down there to check it out. The community project, aided by the talents of Visual Intelligence, a local graphic art and tattooing company, has really brightened the area up. Hopefully, now that our mayor was suitably impressed, we will see more of this around the city.
