Banksy Gets Dissed?
New Banksy pieces have been found all over NY. But since they went up they’ve been defaced. “Smart Crew, Posterboy (Not Henry), Emjay and weird face guy” insignia have been found on the new pieces. [Ed. Note: As ohhleary put it: THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS.]

calliemahzoo 3 years agoClever alterations, I’m okay with. Painting over neatly in a solid color so as to “restore” or whatever, that’s fine. Yeah, part of the magic is the temporary quality that street art always has. At least there are photographs of all the originals, so they’re not really gone for good. So I don’t really care much. But the stupid stencils and squiggles are just dumb. It’s immature. Like keying someone’s car. Even if it’s parked crooked or it’s kind of old in the first place, that’s still a shitty thing to do.

berry connell 3 years agooddly enough, some graffitiists (bet that ain’t even IN the dictionary) do special return bombs, as it were, but for the most part, the very knowledge that one leads to the other is an interesting bit of “bait”…
NYC has some fairly ‘hard’ laws about that hobby. Perhaps it’s an elaborate trap for setting an example to an excellent graffitiist? (I’m sticking with that word, red wavy lines can just get over it)
I love banksy’s work, the simplicity, the content
it’s an original (though now well copied) technique, just as the stickers. (butt ugly or not) In the long run, he’s seen his work destryoed by governments…I don’t doubt for one moment he laughs…at least, now.
Perhaps after some travel time through the country,
he might return…. -

Aaron Murray 3 years agoWe don’t hear Banksy complaining about this. He works in graffiti, he knows the territory. The only people complaining are Banksy fans and building owners who thought they had a few million dollars added to their property values.

Jessica M. 3 years agoSo as much as I love good street art, who are we to call Banksy untouchable? If he wanted his art to stay pristine, and provoke only those who have the means, he would have painted this on canvas and put it in a gallery.
This is what happens to street art, and thats part of the appeal.
Granted, I would hope you would raise the bar when painting up Bansky, not support the “graffitti” nay-sayers. But hey, we can’t have it all. -

Greg Saunders 3 years agoPicasso knew better than to paint his masterpieces on the side of a building. Banksy may be an icon in the art world, but his work is no more legitimate than those who would paint over it either to create their own art or to cover it up to restore the facade that Banksy took it upon himself to “improve”. If your medium is vandalism, this just goes with the territory.
