QUESTION WHO???
“Questionmarc is an anonymous shadow that only surfaces when the stars align”
Well well well.. its not very ofter i get to blow smoke up my own arse… Finally i get to gloat about A lil lady from NOTTINGHAM! Yey! were on the map (well apart from jerm, Dilk Small kid, and many more.. well 8 yrs when i was back home) for urban art in the U.K. I love the way shes bringing obvious happenings that are being ignored to peoples attention…
Public Urination signs appear accross Nottingham during Christmas 2008 accompanied by a letter from the council…. lasted between 6 and 7 hours.. WACK!
“In a recorded message to the Evening Post, Questionmarc, warned that she “will be back”.
She said the signs – which appeared around the city before Christmas – were a reminder that there were so many pubs in Nottingham but no toilets after closing time. She also called into question the use of longer licensing hours.
The signs which were put up last month displayed a male toilet logo with text saying “Public urination permitted after 7.30pm.”
They were accompanied by an official-looking, laminated letter in Nottingham City Council-headed paper which claimed the urination points were an “attempt to reduce late-night nuisance during the holiday period” and “address the growing problem of householders having to clean up after late-night revelers.”
Quote taken from The Nottingham Evening Post.

28 DAYZ IN AUSTIN……
It seems in Austin TX its not only fog and rain you have to watch out for on the motorway (highways)… Some cheeky fukkers.. very cleverly reprogrammed two city construction road signs near the University of Texas early Monday morning in an attempt to warn Austin of an imminent zombie attack. Messages that typically alert Lamar Boulevard drivers to a detour for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard splashed several warnings like “Caution! Zombies Ahead!” and “Nazi Zombies! Run!!!” Amazing… it would certainly cheer up my early morning commute. This story appears to have inspired (re)publication of a bunch of how-to stories, like this one, in case you know of another strategically locate sign that needs to be put to proper use…
Check this quote from statesman.com
“No zombies have been seen in the area, and with any luck, Tuesday night’s cold front killed off any undead with ghoulish plans to invade the city.”
Thank you wooster for givin us a corker of a giggle.

WAKING TO A NEW AMERICA
Today being “thee” day a lot of peoples attention has been diverted to the man him self… I love Shepard Fairey`s (the fella behind Obey) Obama campaign, the fact that on Jan 20th `09 an urban artist will make it into the U.S National portrait gallery is “change “ in its self… pop the kettle on and take a quick peek at the man behind the madness.
