reminds me a bit of noel gallagher going to 10 downing street to meet tony blair!
maybe ken's had a few words with the met police, letting banksy do his own thing (just a thought)

Went down at lunch today to check out the items though...
wanted to see the Ralph Steadman pieces but they were late being delivered so will pop down tomorrow daytime to see them.
The Butterfly on paper is ace!

Art Bid 4 Ken Livingstone 6 March 6.30pm, by Pure Evil on Mar 6, 2008 10:17:48 GMT 1, What I personally think is funny about street artists doing butterflies is that pretty butterflies are so NOT urban and cool... they are kind of poofy..
They also look awesome as a stencil... I didnt even think about Nick Walkers butterfly stencil when I did mine, My inspirational moment was seeing Dotmasters stencilling ladybirds on a little chair as a present for his daughters little chair and I thought it was cool that he was able to do something like that, when we are all supposed to be out there being urban artists doing grenades and policemen with wings and guns and stuff like that..
Each of my butterflies have got a dirty great pin sticking out of the canvas... The image of the butterfly has been pinned and mounted onto the canvas. To me that means.. beauty is dangerous.. somebody is going to see it, and kill it so they can keep it for ever.. I have been checking out Lucio Fontanas paintings where he slashes the canvas, so piercing the surface of the canvas was another step .
My butterfly paintings are also about collectors, people who collect art obsessively...
