New Banksy

The Ivorys are definitely fans of a variety of street artists and b/c of the mystery surrounding Banksy, we are always excited when we hear of his art popping up here locally in the Los Angeles area but also abroad. Love how in many of his pieces he seems to get a message across whether its through simple typography and/or design. Check out what Hypebeast reported on the newest Banksy. Too bad as quickly as it went up it came down.

"Just as fast as it went up, Banksy’s most recent work in Poplar, London has vanished. Focusing solely on type to communicate his message, “Sorry! The lifestyle you ordered is currently out of stock” is undoubtedly a jab at the global community that subscribed to a lifestyle beyond their means which has resulted in our current dark economic climate. The piece as previously mentioned was quickly buffed over."- Hypebeast
