Banksy in graffiti war with fellow street artist after painting over 24-year-old mural
Long story short- Banksy went over a 24 year old piece and was gone over in response.
I’m saddened by the loss of the original piece and I didn’t even know the work in question. If I’d grown up seeing a survivor like that (Bostonians- imagine the SAINT piece in the South End.) I’d be positively heartbroken to see it gone over. It’s a clever gag, but any piece of graffiti that old is rare. Even tags that old are rare. Pieces that old? They don’t exist. That’s a damn shame.
Here’s the pictorial history of the beef

I’d rather imagine this dude getting hooked by some REAL WRITERS while TRYING to go over that old saint piece.

I’ve been thinking about it in context of that SAINT piece all day. I’d take that personally. I can’t imagine what the LDN cats are feeling.
