  • The street art belongs to the streets!! this is fuckness!

  • banksy isnt a street or graffiti artist, he's an artfag sellout. Graffiti/streetart isn't made to last forever. as an artist i respect that my stuff isn't immortal. All of you ignorant art fags need to get it set straight and get over banksy because he's no real artist.

  • people go crazy over this dude. I guess thats what happens when you speak the truth with no real desire to be famous

  • @MrEvilPenguin22 It's Detroit. It would've been dissed almost instantly.

  • @MrEvilPenguin22 i done a piece once with a little kid writing "i'm not banksy" as ppl always think a stencil is banksy... never the less my paint got buffed in 2days ¬¬

  • Why surgically remove banksys and buff other stuff???

  • @drfunk1986 and the rest. Holy fuck! Photos not good enough.You would think it was the last supper.They did the same shit to SAMO's stuff too.

    Whats from stopping everyone from"preserving" the work for themsleves. If someone paints over it or the building falls down, so be it. Seeing banksy in a gallery is as meaningless and boring as seeing a lion in a zoo. This guy knows that shits worth more than his life. Good samaritan eh? jokes

  • @darkslide327 as a artist myself i totally agree. The art itself already makes a point to people when they see it in the street, but if it get's destroyed then nobody will remember it except for photographs. I think they did the right thing by preserving it, the building was going to fall anyways.

  • FUCK ROBBO

  • The spirit of the street art is that it is in the street assholes!
