Grand Tour

They describe it as a banksy backlash, but really it's just a fun way to infiltrate the common consciousness without coming on all heavy about art. The Grand Tour has dotted prints of classic works of art around Soho and the West End, for the man in the street to admire or ignore as they see fit. You can go on a tour of all the prints and submit your pics to their flickr site, specifically set up for roaming photographers to upload their snaps to. had I known this beforehand I would have made more effort with the picture. Ah well, they can't all be gems, anyway, it's about the art maaaannn. Cool thing about Van Eyck's classic seen here, is that he wrote 'VanEyck woz here' above the mirror on the back wall in which his own reflection can seen, hard at work behind his easel. He like totally invented graffiti, eat that banksy!
