. . . and there were 5 pieces of Banksy there, along with some other amazing artworks by other grafitti makers :) An amazing day. This is a work in progress, but I’ve now seen Banksy art in London, Manchester and Liverpool, and some of those i did actually set out to find, so i guess that counts as ‘hunting’. So I’m calling this one ‘completed’! :)

. . . Dance, Dance ,Dance and Norweigan book can be added to my read list :) Both were excellent but very different – DDD weaving into fantasy, the unexpected round every corner, Norweigan Wood a beautifully straightforward yet complex love story . . . not sure what to read next. Was going for Sputnik Sweetheart but think that might be too similar – might try ‘After the Quake’, its meant to be very different.
. . . how cool is that? :) I’m doing a class on collecting as part of my history course so decided that writing about how/ whether grafitti is collected would be more intersting than usual museum stuff . . .anyway, perfect opportunity to go to London and photograph Banksy stuff for a day :) i’m actually pretty excited, i’ll prob go on Tuesday :D
