A disused road tunnel in south London has been turned into a giant exhibition space by graffiti artist Banksy. His art appears alongside that of twenty-nine other artists in a half-mile stretch of the tunnel in Leake Street, Waterloo. Works include Madonna kissing Britney Spears, the Queen and Boris Johnson alongside installations of crashed cars. Sadly, the three day exhibition closes tomorrow, although it’s hoped that the murals at least will remain. It’s interesting that something that many regard as graffiti has become so collectable. Back in January a piece of his work in Portobello Road, west London - which shows a painter finishing off the word "Banksy" - attracted a bid of £208,100 in an online auction. Of course, it helps to be as talented as he is, but it does go to prove the old adage that art really is in the eye of the beholder.


It’s funny sometimes where life takes us. Sometimes the things that we fear will drive us apart do nothing of the sort, and we realise that we love and are loved not for what we are, not for any label that others might apply to us but simply for who we are. It’s a great feeling to know that I can share anything with her, things that I’ve never felt able to share with anybody else and for that to feel good and right; and to know that it’s the same for her. It’s even better to know that come what may I’ll be there for her, and that she’ll be there for me.

I spent an enjoyable if tiring afternoon in London yesterday shooting a new model; you can see a couple of images from that in my gallery so feedback on those is welcome. I know Richie is looking to work with other photographers too so if you’re interested give him a shout. Cornwall next weekend which will be just fantastic, and hopefully there may be a few submissions from that. The lyrical winner was ~TheRabbitman who donated his feature to another artist *t-i-g-e-r. As always, guess the song and artist that gives this journal its title and next time it could be you. Answers below please, first correct answer wins.

Edit - dear, oh dear. Think Donnie Darko people.
