you know that moment where someone goes so far that the whole place just kind of feels embarrassed for them, avoids eye contact, and acts really interested in their drinks?

I think we just had that moment.

@Rfive when you are done wiping your boyfriend's sperm off of your eyes, please look at the picture again. it sucks-it will always suck and this dickwad community sucks too.

katsu (or ???) is approaching clever and collaborative, and the piece is really nice - looks like a giant lithograph

something hit home whitecastle?

a commissioned painting promotes vandalism just as much as a book on islam promotes jihad. these pieces, if they were executed by colossal, are respected paintings by a world respected artist. if you don't know that, then you are the asshole who obviously is uneducated.

look @ the other pieces by colossal in the neighborhood. are they "tagged"? this piece probably will be because that is a part of the community that banksy exists in. he's expecting a hit by katsu, i'm sure. its not your world though; he wouldn't be caught dead consorting with a douche like you.

roll over and let matty hit it again!

@rfive what the fuck is with the the fucking threesome comment? this shit promotes vandalism you idiot-did you notice the graffiti on top of this masterpiece? Your fucking slang is a dead giveaway that you are a uneducated idiot. This "art" as you call it sucks. Pottery Barn ads don't encourage your fucking heroes to tag away. Again, go fuck yourself and this "genre". yeah it is dope, fresh, hip, cool, yeah let me sniff it man-yeah word....

asshole

hehe i'm lovin' it.

shoutout to the real bombers out there.

I'm still waiting for katsu to hit these with his extinguishers. thats what the genre is all about and banksy, the fuckin foreigner that he is, will get covered. the work is still dope. step back, pull your head out of your ass, and take a good look.

stupid haters. its not vandalism if you are paying for the space. its called success. sniff it. or smoke it. it tastes the same.

shut the fuck up sue and go back to your threesome with with whitecastle and matty (trading off with snoopy!).

lee quinones IS a man and a great artist. guess what? his moms was WRONG!!! Lee's got a dope style and will be remembered as a trailblazer in the NYC art scene.

Rat eat rat.

for those who know only about their particular milieu of "art", and can only understand "urban" knowledge---here's something to reflect on: in the first scene of "wild style" where lee quinones gets told by his brother "it;s time to grow up, get a job and be a f***ing man"- almost thirty years later, the same holds true.

also, these pieces are not so much banksy (cynical but easy to get though at least clever, unlike the mindless one liners of giant and his followrs) as commercial crap based on banksy's rats.

I hate pottery barn too! I am such a curmudgeon. I am sorry-guess I am cranky today

@whitecastlerock -- ok, me and the crayons, it is. I'm gonna draw a pottery barn ad!

@everyAFrame I was born and raised in Manhattan. I don't fear any asshole who needs to draw on walls to "express" themselves. So you need to ease up on the tough guy talk and go back to drawing on walls with your crayolas okay?

Sound like a lot of people here would rather have some homoerotic abercrombie ads instead.

I like the rats.

And, yes, Banksy, Katsu, yr welcome in my house. as a matter of fact, get here before we paint the living room :)

@whitecastlerock, settle down, no big bad graffiti vandals are gonna hurt you and you'll still be able to get PinkBerry and tartinis just like they promised you in Kansas.

it is an urban Renaissance! Hooray! Vandals and criminals everywhere party @everyAframe's house!

It's a regular Monet versus Manet situation aint it?

Graffiti is vandalism? I rather think the Adidas store and the rest of the dreck what has been built along Houston from W. Broadway to about Ludlowis teh REAL vandalism of NYC. If you want clean buildings, you can move back to Portland or wherever your "adventure" started, dotcom cash.

This is New York City...finally, once again!

He was arrested last year I believe matty:
