I'd go along too if i was down that way.
I do like the way he adds elements of humour to old classical paintings although this is nothing new.
My dads got a book from the late 70s/early 80s with paintings that have been 'changed' to add humorous things to it.
I've mentioned that book before in a Banksy thread on QBN, next time i'm back at my folks i'll see if I can find it.He's also got a load of "Graffiti" books which are pretty fat paperbacks with one-colour printed pages showing graffiti taken from walls, toilets and other public places from around the world.
It isnt "graffiti" in the sense of stencils and NY stylee subway tags/graffiti, it's just funny things that people have crawled onto blank walls or onto signs to make them humorous.I tried googling to find these books but I dont think they are even in print anymore and were out decades before the interweb.
I'll see if I can hunt them down when i'm back at my folks next time too. they are really good coffee table books or something to have sitting by the bog for reading when you knwo you are going to be in there for a while lol.
