SANTA'S GHETTO
by Jamie E17

If you didn’t already know (I forgot to mention it!), Banksy’s annual Xmas/clumsily themed gallery, amusement arcade and shop is now open on Oxford Street, next to Tottenham Court Road Tube.

This year boasts the most spectacular yet showcasing a wide range of controversial art from 20+ underground ‘street’ artists including a painting of Michael Jackson offering Hansel and Gretel a candy cane, a mock-up photo of Tony Blair taking pictures on his mobile of an explosion in a Middle Eastern dessert and Mona Lisa with her arse out!.

Plus all the usual original paintings, numbered prints, sculptures, film, bric-a-brac, bins and hubcaps. Get there quick stuff is already selling out!
