Banksy 0
Just watched the documentary “Exit Through The Gift Shop” about the street artist Banksy. Totally intrigued by street art, especially as a commercial advertising guy. Here’s a Simpsons title sequence and a gallery of his work. Hyperallergic has this related story about Shepard Fairey and the Blu mural controversy.

This movie called “Food Inc.” is a must see, regarding the food industry. It seems to be along the same lines as Michael Pollan. Good stuff. Monday, it’s only $5 at Cedar Lee.

Ohio Tax Credit for Filming 0
You may recognize some of the buildings in Spider-Man 3, from Euclid Avenue in Cleveland. Governor Strickland and the Ohio Senate recently vetoed a brilliant tax credit for filming in Ohio. This is potentially big business for Cleveland. Advertisers and movie studios love to film here because costs are lower with no shortage of amenities. I wrote about my experience in the industry while asking the Governor to reconsider this policy. You too can write Strickland. Video of our policy-makers is supposed to be available here, but it’s the most useless site ever.
