Banksy's Back In NYC

[turbospartan]

Giz is real and deserves to be respected.
He's a legend...but the average Joe would look down on his tags and throwies and only appreciate the colorful, legal, commssioned stuff he does. It kills me.

Without him risking his life and freedom, he doesn't get the look he does from the average Joe and they don't even care. Which is fine in our world but then ppl like banksy and a few others breathe softly and everybody goes crazy.

It especially kills me that a city with the best scene in the nation goes crazy for someone from England that does stencils.

Oker and renks are back (to ny) but that's not good enough? Hell, wanto came back. London and Japanese legends. Some of the most prolific writers in graffiti history. Kings of their respective cities and countries. Hell, continents. No exaggeration. But banksy is back and ppl go crazy. Smh.
Not to mention that writers like giz been doing it for decades. I don't wanna keep name dropping but ppl should look around.

Can you explain this more? I looked up Giz and Oker and while their stuff is cool, I still happen to think Banksy stuff is usually more clever / artistic.

Can we get some images or links to some IG handles to some of the more current NY street artist?

What happened to the cheetah near Yankees stadium?

So? My cousin was back in NYC last month. Where's his shine?

Seen much better artists, taggers, writers etc.

Is Gabe Specter well known in NY for his street art?

It was buffed not that long after going up.

Oh yeah that was almost 5 yrs ago

 

[eracism]

I mess with it.

Art is art to me. Something to look at and appreciate. Could give a **** about the politics of it. Feel like watching Style Wars now.

took this pic in 2011 when he came to la, few pieces lasted literally one day .... some pieces lasted months or had the wall removed itself

New Banksy at the Bowery Mural Wall at Bowery and E Houston, near the First Street Art Park. I didn't take this flick, might try to see it personally later.

Hope he makes it over to LA

Stopped by his new piece this morning. I wonder how much time he actually spent here, as it’s on an extremely busy intersection.

How does he do this without being seen?

 

[masagipatron]

Stopped by an hour ago. This is actually a legal wall, new pieces are always going up at this particular spot. It's a block away from the First Street Park, there are alwaya new pieces going up there by street artists and graf writers as well. I saw Large Pro, Easy Mo Bee and Rahzel over there last summer during some of the graf events.
