Exit Through the Gift Shop

So, I went to see Exit Through the Gift Shop (finally) on Sunday and it really was everything I expected and more.

I spied this lovely little piece of guerilla advertising a few weeks back - advertising and stencil art, talk about mashing 2 of my favourite things together:

At any rate, I thought the movie was awesome. Directed by Banksy and about the almost overnight eruption of Mr Brainwash. There is a lot of speculation as to the truth behind this movie, but either way, it is worthwhile just checking out just to see all of the amazing work that they cover.

Love BANKSY

Banksy is one of the reasons I love street art.

Found this via mUmBRELLA who were talking about the AU ads around it, but check this out:

Love Banksy - total smart, creative, thought-provoking work.

That is all.

I went to Hamilton

And unfortunately didn't manage to do a big hunt for street art but walking down Victoria Street in the small hours of the morning, I found this place, which had the art on the inside of the store. I think that it was once upon a time a kebab/burger joint, but now has nothing inside it, just pretty walls.

Obviously very Banksy influenced, the kissing policemen were on the outside of the shop front twice.

Sorry the pics are a bit shit, taken at night on my phone. but you get the gist.

These are located here in Ham-sticks:
