Posted by Fabio 12 December 2011
The Art Series Hotels is hiding a Banksy in one of their Hotels for you to steal. The $15,000 masterpiece is one of just a handful of signed and authenticated Banksys available in Australia. Find it, and steal it. If you don’t get caught it’s yours to keep. If you do get caught then back up on the wall it goes.

The genre-juxtaposing, emerging fine art photographer Nico Krijno has a very clean and timeless, measured and minimalistic style, eschewing the super-glossy perfection so typical of the genre.
