On The Ground Looking Up

Ali x Video Game x Graf

I have been a bit oversubscribed so I have been slow on the blog updates. Hoping to be back to the pen soon. In the meantime. This little gem of street art from Jonas and Dave out in LA.

Order Room Service - Check, Steal A Banksy - Check

Interesting idea here and certainly one to generate interest among the art set. Art Series Hotels in Australia is offering guests the chance to steal one of two Banksy pieces, No Ball Games and Pulp Friction. The deal, if you can get away with the crime, you get to keep the valuable art. Supposedly one has successfully been stolen while one still remails.

Clandestine collectors have used tactics ranging from re-wiring the internal security cameras so would be thieves couldn't be seen to scantily clad women distracting staff.

I wonder if Banksy would approve?

Not sure who the creator of this street art gem is but originally shot by Irit.
