The bad artists imitate, the great artists steal.

I saw 4 of Banksy's works over the weekend, including this one:


I never thought I would have the opportunity to see genuine Banksy pieces so I was excited to find out that he's part of a pop up group exhibition called Marks & Stencils (ripping off Marks & Spencers) taking place in a borrowed shop space. The star of the show is Dran, a French artist who does wonderful illustrations that evoke a childlike spirit with a slightly morbid sense of humour. I love the fact that he works on collaged canvases and cardboard boxes. Check out more of his work over here.



Other artists of note: Al Murphy (left) and Ian Stevenson. They're a bit random, but I found them inexplicably hilarious.
