No one does advertising quite like Banksy. His latest almost seems to say “Hey! Remember me!” to all those art enthusiasts heading out to See No Evil in Bristol this weekend. The sign is on the side of M32, a major highway in England.

And speaking of advertising, Banksy also took over some of the commercials that aired alongside The Antics Roadshow on Channel 4 last weekend. In fact, the sign seen above was first featured in one of those commercials. Here is a montage of all the ads compiled together. See if you can catch the sign.

As if you weren’t already getting enough of Banksy with the new iPhone app that allows users to easily find and virtually view his notable pieces, viewers in the UK will now be able get their Banksy fill straight from their TV. No, it isn’t what it sounds like, Banksy won’t actually be on TV; rather he will be playing the role of producer for an hour-long special on Channel 4, “The Antics Roadshow“. The premise behind the show is to chart “the history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics.”

When asked to explain his his reasoning behind the show, Banksy said: ‘Basically I just thought it was a good name for a TV programme and I’ve been working back from there’.

Among the featured stunts will be Michael Fagan talking about breaking into the Queen’s bedroom, Noel Godin, who pioneered attacking celebrities with custard pies, and a world exclusive first interview with the man responsible for putting the turf Mohican on Winston Churchill‘s head.

The show is set to air on UK’s Channel 4 on August 13th, and will be available on the station’s website after its initial airing. I’m not really sure what to expect from this one, but I’m foreseeing a hybrid between Jackass and Punk’d, maybe? Whatever it is I’m sure it’ll be raucous, rowdy and exciting. Be sure to check it out!

As part of their Street Summer series, which runs from August 12-15th and is comprised of events that celebrate street art, hip-hop, and urban culture in the UK (including the TV premiere of Banksy‘s movie Exit Through the Gift Shop), Channel 4 has released a new ‘Street Tag’ application for the iPhone. The app, developed by Brothers and Sisters, allows you to virtually tag any wall or surface with a multitude of spray options, ultimately allowing you to dictate the color, size and wetness of the paint and is appropriately accompanied by the rattling sound of a spray paint can. After finishing, you have the option to share your tag via Facebook or Twitter, or by geo-tagging within the application which will post your piece on a street tag map visible to all users. The app is available for free download via iTunes.

Of course there’s an app for that.
