Try to resist the awesomeness…. of the stickman.

Draw a Stickman

Banksy is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, political activist and painter, whose identity is unconfirmed. His satirical street art and subversive epigrams combine irreverent dark humour with graffiti done in a distinctive stencilling  technique. Such artistic works of political and social commentary have been featured on streets, walls, and bridges of cities throughout the world….and now, The Simpsons open. I’m unclear whether Banksy created this himself or if The Simpsons founder, Matt Groening, collaborated with Banksy on this satire. Either way, it’s utterly brilliant.

A Brazilian art restorer has discovered a new layer hidden in a centuries-old painting of the Greek god of fertility Priapus by French artist Nicolas Poussin – the deity’s erect penis.

“They hid the phallus of Priapus. It’s what we call adjustment for modesty, and it’s not uncommon,” said Regina Pinto Moreira, quoted in Tuesday’s edition of the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper.

She suspects the cover-up was made in conservative Catholic Spain in the 18th century.
