My Vote for the Funniest Contemporary Artist




I don't know who this Banksy is, but his art is hella funny.

Thanks, Brian Negus, for publishing these photos from "Banksy Vs. the Bristol Museum."

Here's what the museum wrote in describing the show they hosted...

"Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is proud to present a unique collaboration between the city's foremost cultral institution and one of the region's most overrated artists.
Banksy has gained notoriety in recent years by using stencils to paint images on a diverse array of outdoor locations. This is his first exhibition in a three storey Edwardian museum."

The one is titled "Venus After Surgery" and the MJ one is getting a LOT of attention right now (duh!)

"A System Error Has Occurred" is my favorite of the three above.
