The Cans Festival

Over the 3 day long weekend a disused tunnel near Waterloo Station was turned into a giant exhibition space by Banksy, where 29 others secretly created their work. The whereabouts of the space was only revealed on Friday. Thousands went through all taking photos of the 'art'. You could register at the beginning if you wanted to do your own art. I figured there will lots of photos of the art in the next few days. So decided to show you those who decided to take up the offer of a spray can, may be for the first time.

What a cool thing!! We had a place like that in our little town, but it had to be closed down because it was being abused. Hopefully soon there will be another place.

In university, we had a big rock that must have had hundreds of coats of paint on it. It was our "graffiti" rock and you could leave messages there and such. It was a nice place o remember a birthday or something else important to university life. Such memories!!
