His pet store closed up shop at the end of October, and now it looks like Bansky only paid for one month of wall time for his rat murals that prequeled its opening. The one that went up last month on the corner of Howard and Broadway is now available for future advertisers (or street artists looking for a nice blank canvas)!
Banksy Goes Down
Banksy Mural Now 100% Complete with Crack Text!
The second Banksy mural to go up in the past week is now complete (the first one was done over the weekend). As you can see, he added some text to the subtext, saying "Let them eat crack." Any bets on where the next rat will pop up?
New Banksy Piece Going Up!
Following a new Banksy piece going up over the weekend, another one is taking form right now! This one is at the corner of Howard and Broadway, and the guys putting it up look like the same ones (with the same equipment) from Colossal Media who did the previous piece. While it's still unclear if Banksy is paying for these, or getting paid for them...there's clearly there's a rat theme going on here.
Banksy Mural Going Up in Soho Right Now
