Announcing Banksy, U.K.'s most wanted artist



Banksy will be the artist whom I will write about for my Essay.





ROUGH DRAFT CONTENT & OUTLINE

Banky is definately England's most wanted graffiti artist, and one of the world's most infamous. His identity is unknown, but is rumored to live in the English town of Bristol. There, a large portion of his work can be seen simply by walking down the street, though his art is featured in museums and various publications world wide.

His stencil art fits in to a category that he made his own; in a method similar to silk screening, he creates his work in layers and often incorporates free hand elements into his designs. The first time the world saw stencil art was with a French artist by the name of Blek le Rat. Although he claims to be the originator or the medium, Banksy's work is much more widely known and is considered the pioneer. Banksy has acknowledged Blek's influence saying "every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek Le Rat has done it as well, only twenty years earlier."

There are many many elements which make Banky's work exciting, the first being that he creates all of his work without permission, giving it a raw feeling. As a graffiti artist, he works quickly, quietly,

Finally, a cell phone that's a REAL fashion accessory.


Yea that's right. It's a phone watch, the LG GD910. It can call, text, bluetooth, two way, and even play the James Bond theme while you run covert opps in the hallway of the office bathrooms.

This particular model hit in Europe in November and stateside in early January. Naturally, Dick Tracey fans constituted most of its first buyers.

With two hours talk time and a little over two inches of touch screen, the futuristic time piece will only run you $1,099.00. Good news is, it does a lot, as shown in LG's video of the GD910.

I can't help but find the sense of irony here: years ago, we used to check our watches for time. Now, we check our phones for time, even if we're wearing a watch. NOW, all is as it should be since your phone is on your wrist. No more digging into pockets or bags. That alone is worth half the price of the phone, I think. I'll be ordering two, one for each wrist. That way, it will be possible to make not only two calls on my apposing wrists, but also, my hands will be free to use my OTHER two phones to look up Avatar show times and research that new churro recipe my cousin told me about. WOW
