We have absolutely horrid cows all over the place in Boston now... and cows have nothing to do with Boston... it's not like San Francisco, like "I left my heart in San Francisco..."....it's not "I left my cow in Boston" ! But the cows are for a good cause

and on the Cape there are some god-awful whale statues all over the place...like this one:

not a fan of the whale there...
but I actually like the cows all over Boston

i think it is fun when you are driving around and they just sort of pop up unexpectedly...
some are cuter than others obviously, but it is a good cause at least

^The cow thing reminded me of the random angels around Los Angeles.

One of my favorite graffitti artists, Nemo. It's just different from the usual more urban gansta streetwork I see. He does some around the world,I've seen one here in Los Angeles, but most are at home in France. Here's a few from his blog.

They're everywhere... When I was in Athens they were all over the place! I seem to remember there were cows in Milan a few years ago as well... These glamour cows travel the world!

tia, are you sure those are banksy? i'm pretty familiar with his work and the only one that looks like a banksy is the bottom one. i'm not arguing with you, but maybe they weren't tagged correctly on the website?

 

[snowqueen]

^^ i dont know tbh but they were advertised as being them .. i also remember hearing of a court case when someone tried to steal one of the items because of its value .. but tbh i know what you mean they seem more detailed and coloured then usual .. but as far as im aware they are he ahs more pieces around the city like the fmaous cat etc.

I was just thinking a thread on this could be entertaining... Got anything fun or interesting to share?

Like the see-through toilet http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/toilet.asp

There was also a pointing hand/face submerged in the water in the center of Stockholm, it might still be there... Haven't been downtown in a while...

can someone help me with the second oeuvre? in the river... who did this?
i like it and would like to see more of this artist...

I just messaged a friend who is very knowlegable in this type of stuff and she said it was a competition or something judged by banksy and as a result there were alot of cross wires with adverts in papers etc. kinda make sense now .. could you pritty please be a darling and edit my post please

I remember this one from the movie "The one and only" (I think that was the title)

Where on earth did you see 'The one and only'? The film only took £1000 at the box office in Newcastle itself so I figured nobody else in the world would want to watch it...
