        Banksy's Murals Turn Up In Gaza Strip

             Banksy writes about this image: 

"A local man came up and said 'Please — what does this mean?' I explained I wanted to highlight the destruction in Gaza by posting photos on my website — but on the internet people only look at pictures of kittens."

NPR recently reported that art collectors around the globe were "taking advantage of the economy" and purchasing art at substantially reduced prices. Well, apparently the following patron never got the memo... check out the headline & article recently posted on CNN.com...

The Decorators Showhouse for the Cure at The Brookwood, Atlanta's first LEED-certified residential high-rise community, was created by Atlanta-based interior designer Jillian Pritchard Cooke. Her eco-friendly show home is dedicated to healthy living, using only sustainable and environmentally-friendly materials and furnishings. Cooke commissioned this 30"X30" tree canvas (above) for the guest bathroom. http://www.des-syn.com/

Tables can be used side by side in front of a sofa or separately as end tables. They're also wired on the back so you can hang them on the wall if you prefer (legs twist off for easy removal).

"What happens at Eclipse di Luna...."

Check out my painting by the bar @ Eclipse di Luna Restaurant & Tapas Bar on Miami Circle. Sunday & Monday nights features Sasha & his hauntingly beautiful flamenco guitar. While you're there say 'hola' to Elias for me, he makes a mean margarita & serves it with a luminous smile.
