September 22, 2006: Elephant painted for art
![]() It's not exactly a happy animal shot but we are light on those right now, for whatever reason. What we have here is actually art, by kisrael's recent definition in the naked-woman-holding-live-pig IotD: Art is what you can get away with. In this case a British street-ish graffiti-ish artist named Banksy has painted this elephant as a part of an exhibition in LA. The exhibition is about global poverty and injustice. The Daily Mail snarks: Quote:
![]() Ms. Jolie was moved to spend $360,000 on Banksy works, so in one sense the guy got away with it. But in another sense he didn't. Three days ago, animal control in LA revoked his permit, saying it was abusive to paint the animal and force it to just, well, stand there. Which leads to the Guardian's question, how do you clean an elephant? Quote:
