After a slight detour via Manchester and The Get Up Kids gig; myself and two friends set off to Bristol with a 3hour+ drive ahead we stocked up on sugar and energy drinks.
PIT STOP: Manchester Academy
We got into Bristol around 1.50am. A very long drive.
Banksy exhibition was good. Kinda weird seeing his work in a gallery context. I think also that he has become predictable and mundane as his work seemed to have lost the wow factor it had before.
The queue was ridiculous first thing in the morning. 4hours long; so we went back later on before it shut at 7.30 and got in within the hour; which wasn't too bad.
Old Stencil collection. Pretty sick to see
remember when Slobs painted the Harry Potter train
PIGS
this was a massive painting along one wall. was huge. house of commons filled with monkeys.
Brilliant
so detailed and precise. I think Banksy may have gone abit Hirst or Warhol on us and just have an idea and commission it to someone else.
Speaking of Damien Hirst
FUCK HIM.
Old Tweety
5am Start Back
Home
All in all a productive but expensive road trip.
Gunna get back to work next week and crack on. Sending more emails, Dissertation Notes and creating different images i've been working on. Another month to get it all done
