Combining the right people, with the right environment, creating the perfect lifestyle.

Fact is, Augor and Revok and other LA writers are kicking it real every day slinging shit and banksy waltzes along with his pre-cut out templates and sprays two or three colors and it sells for thousands.

@Serial520 don't you think it's more about the message behind the piece? i'm not necessarily saying this piece in particular, but i think some of banksy's work is quite clever. it has a political message and is done in quite a clever, witty way. isn't that why people like his stuff? he didn't always have this hype and media attention surrounding him, that was a result of the popularity of his work. he didn't always do stencil work either. he can actually draw.

And the next day Augor goes over him and he's just another artsy bitch left in the dust.

[ActsChurchFire]

most overrated vandal ever. Trendy people would disagree though.

[kidluna]

Thumbs up if AUGOR did it first!

[commentguy69]

@kidluna no fn way wheres the proof i gotta see it augor is a fucking beast!

[kidluna]

@commentguy69 AUGOR started that billboard shit.

[commentguy69]

@kidluna he does some sick as murals on billboards thats about it but did he do what banksy did?

[kidluna]

@commentguy69 no but he started that fresh shit of using content in billboards and combining it with graff. Banksy knew he was in LA and wanted to do what was fresh in LA.

It's on the website. BBC also covered a story how the billboard backdrop was taken down yesterday; not long after comes the billboard owner onto the scene, who knows how valuable that "canvas" was, gets into a scuffle with whoever was 'cleaning' the billboard up. Banksy has arrived!

[jammybleeps]

err, how does anyone think this is a banksy?

[everymatt]

@jammybleeps err, the fact that it's on his website.

[jammybleeps]

@everymatt ok. yep that makes sense

[pronikka16]

[3rdttl]

i dont get it ...tough i would not mind be the men mouse ahoy

[SirMildredPierce]

Well, it is street art.. so it MUST be Banksy... right? amirite?

[cpucrash]

they probably just throw it away, could be worth alot of money

[TheBobvela]

I cant make out what it say's behind them??? Help???

[wilsonink]

@TheBobvela i think that's part of the original ad.

[c3bhm]

Is that supposed to be a cocaine straw in 'Minnie'`s hand?
