Orticanoodles
Orticanoodles is the pen name for a talented duo of Italian graffiti artists, Alita and Wally. Using intricate hand-cut stencils, Orticanoodles has created an amazing series of images influenced by pop art. Their images feature abstract text, skeletons, and well-known personas like Andy Warhol, Queen Elizabeth, and Ronald Reagan.
Orticanoodles’ work has appeared on skate half-pipes, interior walls, traditional canvases, as well as on the city walls of Paris, Amsterdam, and throughout Italy.

Banksy stencil removed, offerd for sale for $500.000
During the Jubilee, someone — probably Banksy — posted a graffiti mural on the side of a Poundland discount shop depicting a child working in a sweatshop sewing bunting with the Union flag on it. The mural attracted great attention in Wood Green, the district of London where it appeared, and local councillors took steps to ensure that it was not removed or painted over by overzealous city workers.
Then, one day, it disappeared. And reappeared in the catalog of Fine Art Auctions in Miami, with an asking price of $500,000. The auction house (which hasn’t returned any press calls on the work) claims that it got the Banksy (or “Banksy”) from a collector who assured them that it had been acquired through legal means. The Poundland shop says it had nothing to do with flogging the piece, and no one can get the building’s owner on the phone.
Meanwhile, a piece of freely given art that decries capitalism and exploitation has been removed from the neighbourhood that was so proud of it, and is up for sale for half a million dollars in America.
