Time to book a holiday abroad!

[escapree]

marking 26th on the calendar...

[Shoot Again]

Preview of the MBW Exhibition @ Opera Gallery tonight... should be good fun, as always when the clown is in the house ;-)

Looks like this got bumped up by 2 weeks..so I've modified the title of the thread.

Not a massive fan of shows @ the Opera Gallery in London..I don't like the way the work is hung with loads of other random artists scattered around.

I'm more interested in the pop up show in August @ the Old Sorting Office on New Oxford Street.

Gonna be HUGE.

I'll bet Banksy is delighted to hear that MBW is being hailed as his "protege".

Exactly what I was thinking!

Are you still friends with Mr. Brainwash?

I like to think so. When I asked him what he thought about the film he said “This is a cult movie, this is a classic movie, this movie stands alone – like The Godfather.”

Spotted there... STIK ;-)

Not agreat lover of his art but must say we were in London when his last show was on and were down in Bond Street as my Mrs was buying some handbags for friends. Popped in to see the show and as we were leaving we met him just outside the Gallery. Must say he was a pleasure to meet and really nice had a good chin wag with him about art and he was really interested in what I liked and had bought etc Where we lived blah blah.

So must say in that sense he was a top bloke and no airs and graces attitude etc.
