Street art credited to Banksy has recently appeared overnight on the side of a PoundLand shop in north London on Wood Green High Road, in time for the Diamond Jubilee. The artwork may depict a message relating to a 2010 incident in which Indian boys were making items for the shop for low pay (1). The artwork shows a young boy sewing bunting with an old-fashioned sewing machine. A photograph of the street art is below.
Banksy is a popular artist from Bristol, and his work can be seen in Bristol and has appeared in various public places (on the sides of buildings) throughout the United Kingdom. His work usually comes with a message about society or ethics, and sometimes his work is witty.
A few years ago, I visited the Banksy exhibit that was held in Bristol's museum, and this featured many of his famous pieces and new ones that often told a message. You can read about that and see photographs of that exhibit here: Banksy Exhibit - Grafitti Art.
I found this post looking for blogging material for my own site GallerinaNYC.com. I'm still figuring out the SEO aspects of my site, something that you seem to have a good grasp on. This page was ranked pretty highly when I was doing my search. It would be great to get some pointers on that. Drop me an email at Hoops@gallerinanyc.com if you have the time. I'd love to hear back. Thanks!
