During the SXSW event last month, Shepard Fairey did a big collage on the outside wall of Lance Armstrong’s bike shop, “Mellow Johnny’s.”
Do it again, I didn't press record (2009)Notes about the sculptor (from bio page): Barnaby Barford is an artist who works with ceramics to create unique narrative pieces. Although an accomplished craftsman, Barford primarily selects found objects, taking both mass-manufactured and antique figurines and turning them into sinister, sardonic but invariably humorous sculptures. As the sentimental figurines become characters in his twisted narratives, Barford turns their perceived vulgarity on its head, often into a different and more explicit vulgarity.
