Banksy's Little Pet Shop

Check this out...

...preferably in person if you have the opportunity!

We strolled by this recently and it spawned a huge debate as to whether it was an actual pet shop or a bodega with such crazy odd windows (we just strolled by and glimpsed at the windows briefly and didn't go inside). Looks like we were both wrong!

Banksy suddenly in New York, I'll have to keep my eyes open.

Oh and by the way...

PS. For those not in the know, I just got married! This is why there has been a great lack of natty art activity over the past few months. But I promise lots of new paintings soon!

Last Exit

The Last Exit show will be hung next week! I'm frantically finishing up my series of "NYC Horrors" paintings. It will be up for viewing on October 22! I think an official opening will be had eventually. But we have yet to schedule the event. Stay tuned for more information!

Gilbert & George

The Gilbert and George exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum is positively amazing. Granted, I'm a huge fan of their work. But it's wonderful to see so many pieces of their almost 40 year career all in one place. And seeing their gigantic graphic and vividly colored works looming large above you in one room? Just absolutely gorgeous and inspiring.

I honestly cannot recommend this show enough. It's up until January 11.
