Hi, I'm Mari.
Street Art of the Day: Banksy responds to the British Transport Police’s anti-graffiti campaign “Operation Misfit” with a Camden-based tribute-shoutout to hometown tagger Tox — one of five street artists charged in the sweep.

Freebie of the Day: The Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art — which is currently hosting the first museum exhibit dedicated to street art — announced on its blog today that, thanks to an “unprecedented gesture” by featured artist Banksy, admission to the “Art in the Streets” exhibit will be free of charge every Monday from now until the exhibit shuts down on August 8th.
“I don’t think you should have to pay to look at graffiti,” Banksy told the museum. “You should only pay if you want to get rid of it.”

Additional Street Art of the Day: A second Banksy piece has already been spotted in LA, this one featuring a mischievous Charlie Brown.
Is the next one being stenciled outside your door right now? (Go check!)

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.
You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.
Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.
You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

Okay, time to hit the streets with my camera.
