Save the Chickens

For months now TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has been campaigning for better conditions for factory raised chickens-but yesterday he lost the fight with Tescos shareholders - winning only 10% of the votes to introduce better standards for the raising of the chickens that are stocked in their supermarkets. Hughs website - Chickenout helps campaign to raise the conditions that these birds are raised in.
The graffiti pictured was spotted on Moss Street in Dublin back in 2006.

Let it Be

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,

rat art

I lived in London for almost seven years, it's where i first started taken photos of graffiti. When leaving the company I worked for I got a pressie of Banksy Wall and Piece book from my team mates. It's basically a collection of Banksys work. [i guess they must have spotted i take a few graffiti photos :-)]

In the book he mentions that he was painting rats for three years before someone said to him 'that's clever it's an anagram of art' and Banksy pretended that he knew that all along.

Thata way
