GANGNAM STYLE HALLOWEEN LIGHT SHOW. RIDICULOUS. AMAZING.

The neighbors might not enjoy hearing Gangnam Style on the reg, but you won't hear anyone else complaining about this epic light show. They even got the house singing the song with jackolantern lights. via Buzzfeed

INSTANT CLASSIC: BANKSY ROLLER ZORRO BRONZE SCULPTURE

Banksy puts his street art spin on the classic Zorro image. Who knew Zorro was such a painting badass? The Roller Zorro bronze statue of undetermined size is from an edition of 12, released this year.

Update (6/19/2012): All signs are pointing to one word on this one: FAKE! Should have been more suspect when the details on this statue were pretty scant.  Proof that this doesn't exist is evidenced by the behind photo added to 'BackerProjects' flckr page earlier today. And yes, we wish this was real, too.

DISMANTLING BANKSY

A new Banksy piece for the Jubilee appeared in London yesterday depicting a child laborer sewing British flag bunting. It was coyly placed on Poundland (UK's version of the Dollar store). As you'll see below, the insidious aftermath that took place isn't surprising but demonstrates that no Banksy street piece is sacred—and that people will do whatever it takes to get a piece of the elusive street artist.

Here's the finished Child Labor Bunting Sewer and what's left of it less than 24 hours later. Via Urban Art Association


Classic Banksy craftsmanship. Look how hard this child is working to get the UK ready for the Jubilee.

 Bunting barons begin to descend on Poundland.

More bunting thieves. Tossers.

Phew, some bunting remains in tact.

Ah, but not for long. All that's left is a lonely child and his sewing machine. End Day 1 of new Banksy Street art.

KANYE WEST'S 'WAY TOO COLD' VIDEO IS WAY TOO AWESOME

Maybe it's the kid's swagger. Or maybe it's the jumbo masked Trump, Condoleza, Bush and Reagan. Either way, Way Too Cold is a banger with a video so over the top you can't help but respect Kanye for flaunting his ego.

'BYE BYE NORTH KOREA' BY JR

French street photographer JR took the world by storm with his ability to access remote places and capture its people perfectly. And his recent trip to North Korea is no exception (who knows how the hell he pulled that off). This may be his most stunning and defining work yet.

Here's JR's more playful, final shot from the least documented country in the world. You can find all his pictures from North Korea on his Instgram (@jr_artist) feed, btw. A must follow in our book. For the non Instagramers, JR posts new images regularly on his website, jr-art.net. Check it.
