Brick Lane

I forgot to mention brick lane, a place of grungy hipsters, vintage shops, and graffiti. the only place of this type i've found thus far.

and we talked about graffiti in class this past week. we were required to take a walk and find some of Banksy's work on Brick Ln (Banksy is a known artist who paints critical/thought-provoking images in cities throughout Europe. Here are some photos of the paint on brick lane that my group found (I believe the cop on the toilet at least is banksy's work, but I'm not completely sure, it is in his style though)..

Also, check out this artist from Argentina. craazy. you may appreciate this one more while taking certain drugs, but not all of this artist's work is trippy like this one. still, give it a look, it's really cool. i'm wondering how long it took to complete the project.
