Banksy is at it again. This time he’s created a new piece to be auctioned off for another charity event. The NNLS auction is actually an “undies” auction where celebrities literally donate their “bottoms” to raise money for the charity at hand.
Sir Banksy managed to find another creative way to donate undies to the cause without revealing his waist size by remixing his “Very Little Helps” image that he revealed last year at POW’s Open Day and using a stencil of the “Union Jack” undies on a pole in place of the Tesco shopping bag. If you feel like sponsoring this cause, check out the auction here.
Although the Sex Pistols shape the beginning and the end of the story, Lipstick Traces is not a book about music; it is about a common voice, discovered and transmitted in many forms. Working from scores of previously unexamined and untranslated essays, manifestos, and filmscripts, from old photographs, dada sound poetry, punk songs, collages, and classic texts from Marx to Henri Lefebvre, Marcus takes us deep behind the acknowledged events of our era, into a hidden tradition of moments that would seem imaginary except for the fact that they are real: a tradition of shared utopias, solitary refusals, impossible demands, and unexplained disappearances. Written with grace and force, humor and an insistent sense of tragedy and danger, Lipstick Traces tells a story as disruptive and compelling as the century itself.
Another one bites the dust…First there was Cabin Fever in January and now there is Liquidation. I guess the end of Wheaty Wheat wasn’t shocking. The angst of artists and retailers unfolded on Twitter all morning. Sket-One confirmed the closure of the 8-year old company saying he just got released from his contract, which means, at this, the ninth hour, he’s finally able to promote his Buckeye Rot character independently. Buckeye Rot was tied to Wheaty Wheat for about three years and became the last production piece for the company.
As Wheaty Wheat liquidates its contents, prices for their current stock are beyond recession-proof: Buckeye Rots have been marked down to $10, Gris Grimly’s resin Pinocchio figures are a mere $3 and Brian Taylor’s keychains are the cost of a gumball: 25 cents. On the surface, that’s awesome. But that kind of drastic de-valuing affects our artists and stores. Any store that bought a crate of Buckeye Rots to sell at retail ($45) is screwed. The artists, who joined up with Wheaty Wheat mainly to see original toys get made, can’t offer their fans toys with collectable value. So what is there to do? Sket said that if you’re really struggling in this economy, scoop ‘em up from WW here. If you can afford to support the artist, he will soon have a bunch available at his website. Buying direct helps artists keep doing their thing, and he’ll even sign them. And if you’re down in Miami, show Sket some love at his < < CLICK THE BANNERS ABOVE FOR LARGER IMAGES
