Banksy & Exit Through the Gift Shop


Have you seen Exit Through the Gift Shop? It's a documentary by British street artist Banksy, & it's crazy fascinating.

Banksy is arguably the most well known street artist (Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie are collectors) & Exit Through the Gift Shop was even nominated for an Academy Award.


His pictures are intriguing & any wall he paints suddenly becomes valuable.

But the whole conversation that swirls around Banksy (Is this legal? Is it ART?) is the most interesting part & Exit Through the Gift Shop does a sweet job of walking you through the story & asking the questions.

I finally watched it (it's on Netflix Instant at the moment, check it out...) & I'm sort of dying to discuss it. I love seeing the weird & interesting ways people find to live with creativity.

Have you seen it? What do you think?

Inspiration from: Harry Potter & the Black Family Tree


Ah, Harry Potter. So many reasons to love it (the books, the movies, the butterbeer.)

I love this scene in Harry Potter & the Order of the Phoenix.


The entire room is painted with the Black Family Tree.


I'm seriously considering making a very large collage with my family tree on it.


Genealogy & Harry Potter.

Nerdy? Extremely. But also awesome.
