Hey! Buy this T-shirt. It’s a collab between Craig Metzger (artist and former creative director of eS and Instant Winner/Acapulco Gold) and the Mountain. If you don’t know, he was doing sneaker collabs with Invisible:Man before anyone in the blogosphere knew who Andrew Lee was. The shirt is for a good cause too: $5 from each purchase goes to the NRDC.

Cameras Can’t Catch Banksy’s Big Brother Diss

World renowned street artist Banksy is back with another banger. Over the weekend, three stories of scaffolding and a huge sheet of polythene were removed from a Central London wall to reveal his latest message: “One Nation Under CCTV.” The slogan, which is a reference to the police’s extensive public video camera surveillance, was painted on Saturday night in full view of an actual CCTV camera, which apparently did not catch Banksy in the act. Also seen on the wall is a small child on a ladder who appears to be painting the message, along with a security guard and dog looking up from the ground. See the full mural after the jump.

Will George Michael Expose Banksy?

According to a new report, George Michael is trying reap the benefits of his celebrity by asking the infamous Banksy to paint a wall in his home. With a 2 million pound offer on the table, Michael has asked the mysterious masked street artist to reveal his identity (cue laughter). Banksy reportedly countered by requesting that GM be out of town the entire time he’s painting. Let’s not forget that the last time Banksy tangled with a pop star, Paris Hilton ended up with a dog head. If you don’t remember what we’re talking about, watch the video after the jump.
