K-Guy: Street Art Banking

By Dan Gould on November 14, 2008

It’s been said that K-Guy is next in line for the street art crown. Approaching fast on Banksy’s heels, the UK based artist has produced a series dubbed the “Sleep Easy Family Bank”. Riffing off the idea that keeping money under your mattress is safer than keeping it in a bank, K-Guy painted and placed several of his “personal banks” around London. The series consists of real mattresses of varying sizes with owner’s names and assorted bank marketing slogans stenciled on the surface. More images at Flickr.
