Everybody is on their phone. Thousands of people everyday wear out their thumbs scrolling through photos, deciding which ones to post on Instagram. It’s so easy to do whether you’re a photographer or not; just point, shoot, choose a filter and post whatever you created. From funny duck face selfies, to breathtaking landscapes, to gritty city streets. Some use it as visual journal giving glimpses of their lives, while others have taken it to another level by creating works of art. All of us at Ruby Hornet are fans of the social media platform and decided to do a weekly series highlighting people whose Instagrams stand above the rest.

We're revisiting an older Instagram for this week's IG Weekly to coincide with some new, relevant news. Back in October, an official Instagram was created to coincide with Banksy's month-long residency in New York last year. During his stay in the Big Apple, Banksy set up some installations alongside his patented style of graffiti art. He also set up a street pop-up shop where he sold authentic Banksy pieces for $60 to unknowing customers. HBO has compiled some of Banksy's New York footage to create a documentary, Banksy Does New York, which will air on November 17th. It should be an exciting look at Banksy and his art from those on the street that witnessed it first-hand. For now, re-visit some of Banksy's New York pieces below.

This week's IG Weekly comes from London-based makeup artist Laura Jenkinson. While features a variety of photos from her day job, the main draw is her self-drawn makeup cartoons that she does on her face. Below are some of my favorites, including some iconic Disney characters and an appearance from everybody's favorite '80s TV character. Make sure you follow her on Instagram!

This week’s featured Instagram comes from @angie178. If there’s one thing I do like, it’s landscape photography from places I've never been too. I’m drawn to this Instagram gallery because of its photo composition and the amazing landscapes shots from of our neighbors up north, Canada. Angie takes some great shots of what's around her and does some crazy stuff to her visuals when it comes to editing. Be sure to check out some of her photos here, and head on over to her Instagram for more of her work.

The TSA gets a hard rep from casual flyers, but their job is justified, despite being completely blown out of proportion in the media. Sure, there are a few policies that will are confusing, but there are reasons behind them. For those that don't know, I used to work at O'Hare International Airport for close to four years before I began writing full-time for Ruby Hornet, and the stuff I've seen on a day-to-day basis with the TSA would shock you, both by theirs and passengers' actions. Nevertheless, the TSA's Instagram account has been popping up across the internet this week, and with good reason. They've begun uploading some of the prohibited items they've come across in passengers' carry-on bags, ranging from phone tasers to hidden comb knives and dead grenades. It's a change of pace from our typical IG Weekly features, but one that definitely warranted a spotlight. Check out some of the crazy items below, and be sure to follow TSA's Instagram for more illegal shenanigans.
