Posted by juggernut3, August 6, 2011

We all hit bumps in the road, but with a little help we can all overcome any obstacles.

It seemed that almost everyone came out of the woodworks to donate artwork for the charity auction including a heavy rotation of […]

Posted by sleepboy, June 14, 2011

What appears to be a previously unseen piece from Banksy by the general public has surfaced for an auction at Sotheby’s London at the end of the month. The piece created in 2010 and entitled Gas Mask Boy was probably acquired directly from the artist with appoximate overall dimensions of 27″ x 39″.
