Check out this Shepard Fairey-inspired guerrilla campaign Frightening Prospect that aims to take some the wind out of Sarah Palin’s sails leading up to the election. Good stuff.
It’s nice to see Governer Palin doing her own part to reduce her campaign to a joke. Way to pitch in!

Banksy’s latest work is an installation/exhibit set up as a fake pet shop in NYC called the The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. It’s open every day until midnight until Halloween and features fish sticks in a fish bowl, animatronic hot dogs fornicating, chicken nuggets sipping on BBQ sauce and a rabbit wearing a pearl necklace in front of a miniature armoire. (Thanks Stephen for the heads up on this one)
Staying on the Bansky tip… during our visit to London last week I accidentally came upon the post office parking lot just off Oxford Street where this piece I blogged about is still sitting on the wall in all it’s 3-storey glory.
Kind of curious as to why it’s still there. I guess with the prices his other works are fetching it’d be pretty stupid to paint over one.
