    banksystreetart: Banksy Donates 150k Angel Sculpture to Bristol Museum Bristol has had a love-hate relationship with Banksy since he began stencilling on the city’s walls nearly two decades ago. The “Exit Through the gift shop” exhibition (2009) was the highest profile Bristol exhibition ever and the most successful in the museum’s 190 year history. The show brought an estimated £15 million into the local economy and was noted as the first retrospective exhibition of Banksy’s work. The artist himself was involved in setting up the exhibits and participated with the museum to oversee its installation. Staff were unaware of who he was and his anonymity was never compromised, among the crew setting up the show. Although Bristol has seen work by Banksy adorn the city’s walls, this was his first official indoor exhibition in a major museum. One of the key pieces in the exhibition was a work “Pink Angel” which modifies a 19th century plaster cast of a angel. Banksy has splattered it with pink paint and placed the empty bucket over the head of the figure. This work was donated along with a model of Jerusalem carved from olive wood by Palestinian artist, Tawfiq Salsaato to the museum following the run of the exhibition. Banksy agreed to do the show at the museum for a token fee of £1, all a gift to the bithplace of this elusive artist.. This summer’s popular Beryl Cook exhibition has come to a close and the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery’s newest permanant work the Banksy angel has now become a magnet to attract people through its doors. A banner outside reads: ‘Banksy is no angel but he has left us a present. Discover his gift to Bristol inside.’ This is displayed on a bright pink canvas banner hanging outside the museum. It’s difficult to miss. Bristol’s main museum and art gallery houses an outstanding and diverse range of objects, from sea dinosaurs to important artworks. If this gets people to engage with art it is working. A visit to the region’s largest museum and art gallery is guaranteed a great day out. The Bristol museum’s art galleries also contains masterpieces by Bellini, Cranach, Renior, Pissarro, Sisley, Bomberg, and Hepworth. In 2012 it will host a tour of ten of Leonardo da Vinci’s most iconic drawings from the Royal Collection. The exhibition forms part of the celebrations of the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty The Queen. The drawings have been selected from the unparalleled holdings of the Royal Library to reflect the whole range of Leonardo’s activities. Source

    tuneage:

    Foster the People - Pumped up Kicks

    It isn’t very typical of tuneage to feature a song from the Billboard charts but Foster the People isn’t a typical band. Sources say their emergences into fame is thanks to websites like Hype Machine, which, granted, has helped the trio keep a pretty level head about their meteoric year. It also doesn’t hurt the band members grew up doing a lot of charity, like building homes in Haiti and helping orphanages in Mexico.

    Still, despite their do-gooder attitude, Foster the People further prove the point that with a catchy, upbeat sound (bonus points if whistling is included), you can pretty much write any sort of lyrics you like. And I can’t help that I love the idea of lyrics being completely misunderstood or misheard - like Springstein’s Born in the USA or other songs I’ve written about. Is it wrong I get a kick out of imagining an audience happily singing along without thinking twice about the words?

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks 

    You’d better run, better run, outrun my gun

    All the other kids with the pumped up kicks

    You’d better run, better run, faster than my bullet

    fuckyeahtattoos: My left sleeve tattoo was done in August 2009 by Tom at Silver Lake Tattoos in L.A. This tattoo represents me, my family and my late brother. He and I were suppose to get our new tattoos over that summer by Tom but he suddenly passed away in June 2009. The koi represents me and the blessings that I’ve had with my family and business. There’s also a lotus and 2 cherry blossoms that represent my wife and 2 sons. There is another koi that is wrapped on the inner part of my arm to represent my late brother. This is a place where he’ll always be with me and every time I look down, he’s there with me. Photo taken by my dear friend and great photographer Ben Spell http://blog.benjaminspell.com/
