Late last year we received news of the Converse x Gorillaz Chuck Taylor All Star Collection but now we can provide you with more substance. Consisting of four renditions of the iconic sneaker, each created by designer and Gorillaz co-creator Jamie Hewlett with the collection defined by the diversity of the group and the elements that make the group so unique. the project is completed with a Converse “Three Artists. One Song” original track entitled “DoYaThing” featuring Gorillaz, James Murphy and Andre 3000 of OutKast. You can download the track for free from

Earlier this week Bansky, who is best known for his anonymity, learned just how fond the Oscars is of enigmas when his request to attend the event in disguise was denied. As for the reasoning behind the decision, Academy President Tom Sherak was quoted as saying: “If Banksy isn’t comfortable showing his face on the Kodak stage, then the Academy isn’t comfortable having him on that stage,” which is actually quite ridiculous.
If Bansky’s concealed identity is “discomforting” to the Academy perhaps they should not have nominated the British street artsist for best documentary, seeing as one of the biggest factors of his fame is his facelessness.
Not to fear though, there has been speculation that this whole predicament has been an elaborate PR push, which wouldn’t be too out of character for the brilliant Bansky. Also the spotting of a new Bansky in LA by none other than Lauren Conrad of The Hills seems to support this theory, making Bansky and Oscar fans alike all tingly inside.
