long overdue

The morning I got my camera, Jordan and I went to the Banksy exhibit that opened in the city. The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill. I knew what to expect as far as what was going to be there but I didn't expect it to be done so well. This is the first time he had used animatronic animals. Some of it was very realistic and eerie. In the window outside you could see a rabbit in a glass cage putting makeup on in a mirror. In the cage next to that was a mother chicken watching over her "chicken nuggets" as they pecked in BBQ sauce. On the other side in the window cage was what looked like a sleeping leopard in a tree, tail wagging. On the inside though, when you looked at the leopard from the other side it was a leopard fur jacket. In addition to these there were processed meets like salami and bologna wiggling around in glass cages and drinking from water dishes. My explanations of the exhibit do not do it justice however. It was a really really great exhibit.

The "leopard" from the inside of the store.

This monkey was sitting and watching other primates on the discovery channel. This was the most realistic of them all. It's stomach was moving like it was breathing and it's eyes were shifting around the t.v. and it was moving it's mouth and reacting to the scenes on the screen. I swear I thought it was going to turn and look at me. There was an empty pizza box and an empty pack of cigarettes on the floor next to it.

These guys were wiggling around their cages as well.

The nuggets.

Jordan at the Fatty Crab afterwards.
