Shepard Fairey at StolenSpace

Shepard Fairey
NINETEENEIGHTYFOURIA
2nd – 25th November 2007


Photography by Chris Osburn © 2007

His work, a mixture of parody and protest, serves to subvert the very medium to which it attaches itself. Wall paper posters adorn advertising billboards that in his own words ‘market nothingness’ while large scale posters with the simple one word message ‘obey’ stir the bewildered masses. His unique use of stencils, collage, photography and painting have led to collaborations with among others, DJ Shadow, Interpol, Smashing Pumpkins and more recently the poster art for the Johnny Cash biopic, ‘Walk the Line’.

Single Travel Fares Across London Public Transport

Mayor freezes single travel fares
The Mayor of London has announced a freeze on all single fares across the city's public transport system.
BBC News
Last Updated: Tuesday, 30 October 2007, 13:12 GMT

Critics say the freeze will make little difference because of above-inflation prices hikes over the past three years ... Travellers paying for an Oystercard peak single fare will continue to pay 90p, while the single cash fare is frozen at £2.

What's for Lunch? Spicy Food Plus
by Chris Osburn
Londonist
October 30, 2007

Spicy Food Plus, a rather nondescript hole-in-the-wall about halfway between Victoria Station and Pimlico Station, is (in the words of at least one well travelled London foodie) home of “the best naan” outside of India.

Much Ado about Hot Dogs

Who knew Londonist readers would get so up in arms about a mildly approving review of a hot dog vendor? Clearly, not me. Anyway, I got an education on the palette and concerns of at least a few Londoners with my last What's for Lunch? restaurant review. Check out these comments posted in response to my review of a hot dog vendor outside the British Museum:

Boo!

These guys are a smelly menace.

Oh god no!! The hot dogs that these people sell are, I swear, made out of stray cat meat and wallpaper paste.

... the most disgusting food in London.

that is insane... is this April 1st?

Haut cuisine it’s not, but what’s more indulgent than a hot dog every once in awhile? And, at £2.50 for a “jumbo” hot dog, who can’t afford to indulge every now and then?
