With Banksy’s latest performance shocking the art world, some brands released advertisements inspired by the shredded painting. Which is rather ironic, given Banksy’s thoughts on advertising.

This is not the first time major companies released advertisements inspired by Banksy’s works – Ikea of Italy released a series of advertisements inspired by the artist’s stencils back in 2012. This time the controversial shredding painting inspired even more companies to ‘jump on the bandwagon’.

Aušrys Uptas

One day, this guy just kind of figured - "I spend most of my time on the internet anyway, why not turn it into a profession?" - and he did! Now he not only gets to browse the latest cat videos and fresh memes every day but also shares them with people all over the world, making sure they stay up to date with everything that's trending on the web. Some things that always pique his interest are old technologies, literature and all sorts of odd vintage goodness. So if you find something that's too bizarre not to share, make sure to hit him up!
