In a parallel lego universe...

Somebody has too much time on their little yellow hands.



Pret or Princess?

American artist Jennifer Rubell's latest sculpture has the answer.

Ditch lunch at your desk and pop down to the Stephen Friedman Gallery on Old Burlington Street. There you can slide your arm through Prince William's before slipping your finger through the iconic sapphire and diamond ring.

Needless to say my Kate Middleton papier mache is coming along a treat.

Double agent estate agent

Last night I was in the back of a taxi going to Shoreditch.

We came to a stop opposite Foxtons.

As I glanced through their window I noticed something strange...

The man on the screen is White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.

And the man on reception...

... is also White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.

Advertising can be murder

Meet Gary Gilmore.

In 1977 he was sentenced to death for murder.

His final words to the firing squad were "Let's Do It".

And became the inspiration for the most famous slogan ever.

It looks a bit rubbish.

Anyway, by landing on the Moon aren't we aliens too?

Or as I like to think.

Soup of the day

It was Christie's Post-War & Contemporary Art auction this week.

I particularly liked the '32 Cans of Campbell's Soup' (1962).
It sold for £85,250.
That's alot of money.
Especially when you consider it's not even a Warhol.
It's by Richard Pettibone.
Whoever he is.



This genuine Andy Warhol self-portrait sold for £10.8 million.
Double its pre-sale estimate.
It's not even unique.
He made 11 of them.



No. It's not a Honda ad.

It's better.

I walk past this every morning.
It's the only reason I go to work.

Apathetic shop signage

With a performance like this it makes you wonder why he's never won an Oscar, let alone be nominated for one.
