Inspired by Alan Fletcher (who wasn't)

 I used to live directly opposite Alan Fletchers house on Pembridge Crescent in Notting Hill and often admired his gate.

You Gotta Love Banksy

Thought provoking public art with a clear point of view (and he's a fellow Bristol boy). We're not posting this because it's the latest thing, it's not, but it is flipping brilliant. Flicking through his book to get inspired for a new project reminded me just how brilliant. I've always loved Banksy since I first saw this image years ago on a wall outside the Dog & Duck pub in Soho - A local water hole around the corner from where we worked at Tor Pettersen & Partners. I liked it so much, I snapped a pic slapped it on a t-shirt, only to be asked "hey, where you get the shirt?". More an more Banksy art then slowly started popping up all over the place and the rest is history. Get his book - Wall & Piece - for your collection if you don't already have it. Cheers. Jim.
