London-based street artist D*Face threw up these pretty sweet digital billboards throughout London this past weekend. Their purpose was to protest the G-20 summit, which included leaders from all over the world. What do you think? Artsy or lame? 
Jailbreak amigo and toy photographer extraordinaire Brian McCarty just sent over this interview he did with XLR8R magazine. You should watch the entire thing but if you want to skip to the part where the Obama Action Figure makes an appearance, fast forward to 3:08 into the video. McCarty shot the figure at the infamous site of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Lorraine Motel (Now the National Civil Rights Museum). The concept is wonderful and his work is world class. Head here for more information on McCarty and his work.
The still version of McCarty’s vision.
This is a bit of pretty funny news coming out of England today. Apparently during his visit to the Queen, President Obama gave her a gift as is customary during visits of this nature. If you remember about a month ago Obama gave U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown a DVD set so his precedent for gift giving was already low. And what do you know, he gave her an Ipod! Ha, hilarious. In return the Queen gave him a framed picture of herself. I mean an Ipod is a pretty sweet gift but this is the QUEEN OF ENGLAND!
