I love those wacky Brits

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Many a visitor to New York's Museum of Modern Art
has probably thought, "I could do that."
A British graffiti artist who goes by the name "Banksy" went one step
further, by smuggling in his own picture of a soup can and hanging it on
a wall, where it stayed for more than three days earlier this month
before anybody noticed.
The prank was part of a coordinated plan to infiltrate four of New
York's top museums on a single day.

"My sister inspired me to do it. She was throwing away loads of my
pictures one day and I asked her why. She said 'It's not like they're
going to be hanging in the Louvre.'" [..]

I love them--and the story. Coincidentally, I was just looking at
that site and heard them commenting on the very same thing on the
radio.

my brother-in-law and his wife as a Christmas present. A couple of years
later, she was having a garage sale and there was my painting she was
selling for FIVE DOLLARS! hahahahaha But I got her down to THREE! hahahahaha
After that, I didn't think so highly of my work and no longer give them as
presents. But that cat painting is hanging on my wall as a reminder to NOT
have such a big head. lol
