I Messed Around and Made an iGoogle Theme

igoogle theme

It was really pretty easy. I submitted it. Lord knows if they'll accept it, but even if they don't it won't stop me from doing another one :)

Interested in doing one yourself? Google has an excellent developer's guide.

Banksy Again- One Nation Under CCTV

This has to be one of his finest moments. Just the circumstances alone are enough to make it a top work, but when one considers the number of Closed Circuit cameras there are in London it get pushed near the top of the heap.

Banksy pulled off an audacious stunt to produce what is believed to be his biggest work yet in central London.

The secretive graffiti artist managed to erect three storeys of scaffolding behind a security fence despite being watched by a CCTV camera.

Then, during darkness and hidden behind a sheet of polythene, he painted this comment on 'Big Brother' society.

It's Been a While Since I've Posted About Banksy


(photo courtesy flickr user Klara Kim)

Banksy was named one of the The 100 most powerful people in British culture

84 Banksy, 34, artist. Once a guerrilla artist of the streets, Banksy now routinely sells his work for six-figure sums. Despite this, he has managed to retain his anonymity.

None too shabby.
