Banksy, Elephant in the Room

The elephant may have been in the room, but by the end of its stay it had lost its sheen. Tai, the 38-year-old painted pachyderm that was the centrepiece of the first major US show by the British graffiti artist Banksy in 2006, was scrubbed down on the orders of the Los Angeles department of animal services.

The Mod twins, Chuka and Dubem, aka The Islington Twins, were a fixture around the streets of Islington. They always dressed in identical high style and would hang out at the entrance to the Highbury and Islington tube station entertaining travelers with the latest ska and reggae music from their boom box. They also danced onstage with Madness. This photo was published in the first issue of The Face Magazine and they became London style icons.
