This is a normal post I escalated it from lame joke to witty cartoon.
I’m trying to be as nice as I can. I fucking loathe him and his tat.

This is a normal post Thing is, it's meant to be street art, and it works as street art
You wander 'round London and come across one and it's amusing, unexpected, you see it, chuckle to yourself and move on because it's a city and you only stumbled upon going from point A to point B. Having a canvas print of the little girl who's let go of the heart balloon on your wall is just utter kitsch and defeats the whole fucking point.

If I was wandering along the canal, went under a bridge and the wall on the opposite side was painted as a Monet BUT WITH TROLLEYS AND SHIT IN IT JUST LIKE THE CANAL WE'RE ON then that'd be cool. This will just be owned by someone mega-rich. Meh.

This is a normal post Alternatively
Banksy could have travelled to Monet's garden in Giverny and dumped a couple of trolleys and a traffic cone in the pond. Of course Monet's eye disease meant he would have painted any rubbish in the water as fucking water lilies

This is a normal post Don’t get me started
He gets all huffy when someone removes one of his works.
Conveniently forgetting that it was graffiti in the first place.

This is a normal post The value increases as more people are pissed off by the increasing value

This is a normal post I think London was more the reason for his decline
As soon as he got a team behind him and lawyers to protect his IP, it became very difficult to claim he was actually sneering at the rich rather than just selling something to them.

His latest stuff is terribly overwrought and charmless and i think he probably knows it

This is a normal post I dunno, I like a lot of his early London stuff
I stumbled on this one one my way to Notting Hill Carnival as a teen, really liked it, had no idea it was him until I saw it in a book later, but I think the key is that it works in context - his ones with rats messing with junction boxes, ones that take advantage of cracks in a wall, etc.

It's not London, it's the money in London that did it. And just stencilling everywhere without caring about context. Yeah, now he's basically a factory...


Voyeur

If I'd catch the prick vandalising my walls I'd punch him in the throat. Repeatedly.
