Today was a pretty great day. Despite the jet lag traveling to London - I gathered myself up and hit the adventure. My hotel is this old castle in a town 75km outside London called Aylesbury. This is by far the furthest off the beaten path work has ever taken me. I would have been well within my rights to sleep away much of the day and rest - especially since starting tomorrow I've got four solid packed fifteen to seventeen hour days of work - but today I met up with a old coworker who has lived in London for a while and hunted down Banksy graffiti.
I'm new to Banksy art, but after he did four pieces in San Francisco a couple months ago... I'm a fan! Plus, most things posted on Stuff White People Like are sadly, things I like. I'm learning graffiti can be hard to track down. After time it can be defaced or painted over. So tracking where these pieces are is a bit of an Easter egg hunt. Especially in a city I'm not familiar with, and roaming data rates too high to make GPS a realistic possibility. I did track down a few pieces though. I'm sure there's 20x this in London if you know where to look (Banksy lives here). Here's what I did find:
