Banksy


Banksy can sell a stenciled piece of cardboard for thousands- but not everyone buys into his hype. Here a shop owner paints over his work- bc well, I guess some people like walls white instead of with imagery, concept, and substance....

Murakami





Murakami is showing at the Brooklyn Museum. His cultural impact is huge- and facinating- with work from Louis Vuitton to the album cover of Kanye West's latest cd (he also performed at the opening in Brooklyn).
He is truly a superstar in the art world, creating product and graphic design, prints, sculpture, and paintings. His work really mirrors what pop art today and tomorrow looks like- with an eastern twist that out western culture is eating up like candy.
