Here’s a great site specific piece by Supakitch. It looks like a sweet bear during the day, but at night when the green subway entrance light comes on, it looks totally sinister.

Poster Boy continues to outdo himself. See if you can find the hidden smiley face.
Ron English put up a new piece in New York last week to greet Senator McCain’s arrival in town.
Street artist Above recently painted a little mural on the wall of a Washington Mutual (soon to be converted to a Chase Bank now that it’s been sold off.) Here’s another recent WaMu prank.
For Toronto street artist Posterchild’s latest project, he installed blue wooden boxes around town with a camera inside. He explains:
I made 5 boxes that contained dollar-store disposable cameras and marked them with “Take a Photo, Leave a Photo.” After retrieving the cameras (there were 3 still remaining), I developed the film and then framed and mounted the resulting photographs in the same spots!
The results are really cool!
You can see more of the photos on his site.
You might also enjoy this similar project with a disposable camera on a park bench.
Here’s a cool video of a simple hack on a traffic light on a bike lane in Berlin. Using tape, a prankster transformed the light into a heart, star, and drop of water.
(thanks Mark!)
Jake Dobkin has put together a great collection of 40 awesome street artists you should know (besides Banksy, who you should ALREADY know.)
A group of street artists have been putting up this new Sarah Palin wheatpaste in cities around the U.S. Their site has instructions on how to download the artwork and put up your own, if you’re so inclined.
We’ve mentioned Poster Boy a couple of times before here at Urban Prankster. Brian Raftery recently did a great profile on him for New York Magazine.

Wooster Collective posted the details of Banksy’s new show in New York, running until the end of the month in the West Village. He’s converted a 7th Avenue shop space into the “Village Pet Store And Charcoal Grill.” Inside is a very bizarre collection of frozen food animals and animantronics. The show is open to the public from 10 AM to Midnight every day. If you’re not in the city and can’t see it in person, check out Wooster’s photos and video.
While Banksy was in town he hilariously tagged two phone booths (above.)
