I rest my case.

not a fan, but i respect him and his craft regardless of style. It's like hating on COPE because all he draws is bubble letters, but he's had success with Obey and his legendary old school upbringing. No need to hate. Success drives people to be judgmental and opinionated when really it doesn't effect you one way or another. If they can sell that piece and get cash, more power to them.

Yep - I will start adding stuff I like to the art of the day thread. I guess the issue we have here is our different definitions of art. I studied fine art not design. I would love to see a Banksy piece that blew me away. I loved his Israel piece - had power. But a lot of it is just lame in my eyes.

it's illegal street art. He is just removing the nuisance from public view. I see no problem with it...Make some money. Sell it!

Every piece of art ever created is going to have viewers who think it's not good enough for them.

"Just think he gets way too much attention for..."
...so why do you?

Sorry yes - each to their own. Just think he gets way too much attention for what is generally quite mediocre art.
He sums it up better for me:

I guess it is good that people like him but its not really art is it - more like illustration on walls. So much more innovative stuff out there getting little attention - such is life though.- start your own thread then with some artists you like and be happy. no need to hate just to hate.capn_ron

And if it is worth £100k+ why the fuck isn't someone trying to steal it? They just gave the address away and showed where it is in the building...

But if it's not their wall? How does that work? Who does it 'belong' to?

The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet warrior in the classic sense.
