Da Rat

Exhibition of Banksys art at Bristol Museum.



Typical Banksy humour. Some photos of the exhibition can be seen here.
Banksy was in Australia at some stage. On my last trip down south I found the Banksy stencil on the side of Alfalfa House in Newtown (straight across the road from the Enmore Theatre). Some clown has tagged over the top of it now and its very faded, but still viewable. Bottom right hand corner very small from memory. I wonder if Banksy is linked in some way to the one of the bands from Bristol? (massive attack, tricky, Portishead etc).
Anyway, check out "nosey in newtown" for the pics (great little blog with great pics of the street art and eccentricities found around Newtown). I took heaps of pictures of the graffiti around Newtown last time I was there. I'll get around to posting them sometime.
