He’s dope on the floor and he’s magic on the mic

As seen at an intersection near our place. I wish I’d thought of this. Maybe I’ll start tagging Diana Ross on my own signs.

I’m really digging Mike Mitchell’s illustrations. This is what I wish my art looked like if I a) spent more time painting and b) was more talented.
In other news… Mish and I will be on a plane in about 7 hours heading to Peru (via a SF-LA-Lima milk run) which means I’m getting up in about 4 hours which means I should probably head to bed.
I’ll be bringing my phone and hopefully taking some photos and blogging at least once or twice with my fancy Wordpress app. I built a solar USB charger for my iPod and iPhone so I could keep them juiced up enough in the jungle to watch episodes of Six Feet Under but it doesn’t quite work. Correction — it kind of works. It seems to charge the iPod okay, but not the iPhone… or any other USB device for that matter. I believe it’s a problem with the flux capacitor.

The Daily Mail in the UK has run this article which may have revealed the true identity of graffiti artist Banksy. It’s not really conclusive but it is a pretty compelling theory.
Too bad if they did actually figure out who he was. Banksy’s gone to a lot of effort to maintain his low profile. His success is certainly tied to his anonymity so it’d be a shame if he lost that because of these Daily Mail twits. Seems like they should have more important things to report on than the identity of graffiti artists.
