Season's greetings from Banksy and friends
It used to be a Clarks shoeshop, though the stabbed teddy bear with a kitchen knife still dangling from its stomach in the window should give away its change of occupancy. Inside, the only shoes you will find are on the feet of bodies which look real but are models. One appears to have put his head through a wall.
This is Santa's Ghetto, a gallery and amusement arcade founded by the elusive graffiti artist Banksy, which opens for 23 days in London's West End to show art as well as selling affordable works.
"I felt the spirit of Christmas was being lost," said Banksy (real name possibly Robin Banks or Robert Banks, or possibly neither). "It was becoming increasingly uncommercialised and more and more to do with religion so we decided to open our own shop and sell pointless stuff you didn't need."
Inside is an entertaining mixed bag of work from about 20 underground artists which might make battling the Oxford Street throngs a touch more bearable, although following the instructions on one of Ben Turnbull's Break In The Case Of Emergency boxes may not be advisable. A handgun is inside.
Banksy's work is spottable. In one big painting depicting the wicked witch and Hansel and Gretel, the witch has been replaced by singer Michael Jackson trying to entice the children with a candy walking stick.
The Santa's Ghetto "squat art concept store" began five years ago and has been in various locations around London, though this is the first time it has alighted on Oxford Street, right next door to Tottenham Court Road tube station.
In the last three years the store has been located in Carnaby Street in 2003, Charing Cross Road in 2004 and last year in Soho.

nunja... da nun noch ne weitere meldung darüber existiert,
will ich es denen nicht vorenthalten, die es noch nicht gelesen haben...
also hier weiter...
Brangelina pick up Banksy's art that mocks Michael Jackson!
Washington, Dec 2: Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt might no longer be in Michael Jackson's good books, for they've just become the proud owners of a new painting by notorious artist Banksy in which he takes a pot-shot at the singer's child abuse scandal.
The piece by Banksy, which features the dethroned king of pop standing in the doorway of a cottage trying to coax a young boy and girl into his house with sweets, is inspired by the classic fairytale Hansel and Gretel, and is apparently a reference to the child abuse scandal surrounding Jackson last year.
The painting is not the only one that will be on display at Brad and Ange's home, for the couple also picked up several other pieces of the artist's work when they visited his recent Los Angeles exhibition, according to The Post Chronicle.
However, for all his popularity, the artist - who began his career spray painting public walls - refuses to reveal his identity, for he will get into an awful lot of trouble with the law the moment he does.
His previous works have not only included a portrait of two policemen locked in a homosexual embrace, but he also infamously replaced hundreds of Paris Hilton's debut music album CDs with his own remixes earlier this year.
And, to make matters worse, Banksy not only replaced song names with his own titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?, but also changed her picture on the CD sleeve, thanks to which Paris was left topless, with a dog's head.
