Banksy Unveiled?



British tabloid, The Mail on Sunday, published the supposedly real identity of the world famous street artist known as Banksy. Based on a picture of whom might be the urban art maverick whose works have sold for spectacular sums, this newspaper assures that Banksy´s name is Robin Cunningham, a 34 year old citizen from Bristol. 

But the only real question around this buzz is: Who the fuck cares about his identity as long as we can still enjoy his works in the middle of the streets? Is it that maybe contemp pop culture cant´s stand the presence of an anonymous idol because there is no one to interview and the paparazzis can´t chase him.

Charlie Vandergaw "The bear man"


"Am I like some sorry sucker who happened to work until he's 70 in an office, is that living?" Charlie asks himself out loud. "No I beg to differ with you, that's existing. I live out here. Every day is wonderful out here". He is the 70 years old former science professor, from Anchorage, Alaska, that has been living for the past two decades surrounded by Black and Grizzly bears."I got started on this innocently enough, I was living out here alone, and they became friends. They sought me out." he tells with a sweet but wild look in his eyes.

Charlie embodies the archetype of the free spirit guy who doesn't fear to realize that the mirror talks about the original state of freedom that every conscious entity is design to live. "That's what I like about Alaska, because I can live like I want to live. Fish or hunt, and you don't have to answer to anyone out here. You're not controlled by other people". Alaska, the everlasting green and white paradise, natural magic and genuine toughness.

Although his best friends are both, the Black and the Grizzlies, he doesnt hesitate to confess his favorite gang, the one that is considered as the most dangerous type of North American bears, and which Herzog´s film "The Grizzly Man" showed us how they killed another of their best friends, with his girlfriend as a combo. "I think I'm mesmerized by grizzly bears. I love the black bears, but there's just something about a grizzly bear that is hypnotic to me. There's something about their aura, the way they look at you. It's a whole different energy level than the black bears. You know something is about to explode when a grizzly comes in".
