The Wifey and I spent our Easter grabbing a late breakfast at OverTheCounter before checking out Observe And Report (and unfortunately I’ve gotta give it a PASS until it comes out on Netflix) before coming across this gem…..
Head over to WoosterCollective and check the latest Banksy has to offer in London.

While it’s a little old, Banksy’s touch outdoors make you look a little sideways at life.
More pics after the Jump……
The striking mural, painted under cover of darkness, was intended as a stinging criticism of Big Brother society. So it will come as little surprise to its creator, Banksy, that bureaucracy has ordered the removal of one of his largest works.
The Times has learnt that Westminster Council has demanded that a mural by the pseudonymous graffiti artist, a 7m (23 ft) criticism of Britain’s CCTV culture, must be painted over. While other authorities have turned a blind eye to Banksy, the council said yesterday that it would remove any graffiti, regardless of the reputation of its creator.

This is no average pet store, it’s Banksy’s Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill and it’s ridiculous. Banksy is using animatronics for the first time and the visual effects he’s going for are amazing.
The store, located at 89 West 7th Ave will be open everyday from 10am to midnight until October 31st.
Head over to Wooster Collective to see a ton of pictures from inside the shop itself.
“New Yorkers don’t care about art, they care about pets. So I’m exhibiting them instead. I wanted to make art that questioned our relationship with animals and the ethics and sustainability of factory farming, but it ended up as chicken nuggets singing. I took all the money I made exploiting an animal in my last show and used it to fund a new show about the exploitation of animals. If its art and you can see it from the street, I guess it could still be considered street art.” - Banksy.

After just touching the NYC landscape a week ago, Banksy went after the big wigs of Wall Street with this piece.
