Banksy Closes The Doors At Dismaland; Plans To Relocate To France

After quite a successful 5-week run that attracted over 4,000 people a day, Banksy has officially closed the doors on his Dismaland amusement park of sorts in the UK. The park was basically a display of Banksy’s crazy art with a few rides scattered in – a grim take on Walt Disney’s much more cheerful theme park, Disneyland. I’m so bitter that I wasn’t able to see this in person, but I got excited when I read they’ll be moving the exhibit to Calais, France. “Another chance,” I thought. But then I read on…and found that it won’t be open to the public. “Coming soon… Dismaland Calais,” a statement on their site reads. “All the timber and fixtures from Dismaland are being sent to the ‘jungle’ refugee camp near Calais to build shelters. No online tickets will be available.” So, there’s that. At least they will be helping those in need!


(Photos) Fan Gifts Kanye West Dope Painting Of His Mother With North

After returning from music mogul Steve Stoute’s wedding last night, Kanye West was greeted by a fan at the door of his NYC home…but this one didn’t immediately get turned away. The fan, a burgeoning artist by the name of Perspektiv (@_perspektiv_ on Instagram), had an amazing painting for Yeezy, featuring his late mother Donda and his daughter, North. According to Perspektiv’s page, Ye (who was smiling when photographed walking away with the painting,) called his art “sick” and “dope.” That it definitely is! A quick scroll of his page shows that he recently was able to gift Rihanna with a painting as well, and she later hung it up in her NYC home and posted it on Snapchat. This guy is doing his thing out here!
