Title: I don't know much about art.....
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 01 November 2013, 14:11:26

...... but I know what I like!!  or so the old saying goes.  ::)

Anyway I like this!!  :y  Banksy the street artist bought a painting in a New York charity shop for $50 and then added to it and signed it.  It was then returned to the charity shop by his 'people' and the charity for the homeless have now auctioned it for $615,000!!!  :o   8)

We don't see many 'feel good' stories in the media today so I thought I'd share.  I hope it brightens up this dreary November day!!  :)

Pinch Punch!!!!   ;)

I don't know. Some folk must have more money than sense.
My beds still unmade if anyone wants to pay me bucket loads of cash for it

I actually know 'Banksy' and shared a desk with him and his protégé.
