Banksy has opened a different sort of pet store in Greenwich Village and the 'animals' in the cages are something you would expect from a happy meal at McDonalds. The show entitled ‘The Village Pet Store and Grill' explores society's use of animals as pets, food, and clothing. Displays range from 'Chicken Nuggets' where the fast food treat appears to peck at a trough of ketchup to fish sticks floating in a fish bowl.

Anyone else ever seen the elusive graffiti artist extraordinaire?

Silvery-blue finned fencers swirl and eddy in ever-decreasing circles, packing their terrified prey into a bait ball, fresh for the killing.

Artists create unique street art from plant material that’s been cut, shaped and attached to various sites, introducing splashes of green to urban landscapes. Other artists grow their moss from scratch, creating a glue-like paste which is the painted on their chosen surface before dutifully tending the mini-ecosystem, watering, feeding, encouraging it to breathe life anew.

I know we haven’t published anything for a week or so, but that’s because we graffiti artists have been busy at work creating the brand new layout of Environmental Graffiti – we hope you like it!
