Dog Defecates on Priceless Banksy Piece, by Joe J on Jan 17, 2009 1:51:00 GMT 1, I saw this today. ;D
newsone.blackplanet.com/entertainment/jamaican-who-revealed-banksy-gives-away-priceless-artwork/
A new chapter has emerged in the struggle between legendary at-prankster, Bansky and his Jamaican photographer nemesis, Peter Dean Rickards. Rickards has allowed a dog to defecate on artwork Banksy, had his face revealed to the world by a Jamaican photographer, Peter Rickards.
Rickards had previously unearthed one of the only pieces of street art that Banksy had left in Jamaica. A wall Tagged with his signature of his a girl with balloons and his tag Banksy in stencil form. He took said artwork to a garage where a pictured a dog defecating on the well reknowned artistโs street piece.
Rickards met Banksy in 2004 while working on the cover art for a reggae/electronic album by the UKโs Wall of Sound. According to Rickards (who had never heard of the artist at the time), Banksy was โa rude little guy with rat teeth who apparently felt very superior because he was famous for stenciling bunnies and rats back in London.โ Consequently, Rickards (who runs the button-pushing Jamaican website, The Afflicted Yard) managed to capture a few photographs of Banksy at various locations around Kingston, including an old ship, a bridge, Buju Bantonโs music studio, and a pub on Mona road in Kingston (where Balloon Girl stood for 4 years) .
Banksy has gained a reputation as a social vandal, taunting society with his illegal street pieces, which has thrust him into elite circles of contemporary art. Until Rickards revealed his secret identity he had clouded himself in myth and mystery like a super anti-hero.
Banksyโs stunts have been legendary. He brought in a life sized dummy dressed like a Guantanamo Bay prisoner and put him in a Disney Land and also put up several pieces of his own into famous museums. He also collaborated with Gnarls Barkley producer, Dangermouse, to remix and repackage Paris Hiltonโs CD and put them in stores and also put up several pieces of graffiti on the west bank wall in Israel.
His work has been sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars at auctions to people such as Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Christina Aguilera and Jude Law have all bought pieces from him. In an interesting new twist to what appears to be an ongoing history of the two artists, Rickardsโ has taken advantage of Banksyโs notoriety by videotaping the removal of the wall in Kingston and has posted the item on Ebay as a โfree bonus prizeโ to the person who buys 10 original photographs of the excavation.

It's a bloody iconic image. i guess it might be a trust issue, and the fact it is mile away from the UK and it must weigh a couple of tone, so the shipping costs will be high, and the guy has a bad rep.

I know the whole story too. But there are good quality Banksys and bad quality Banksys and this is definitely one of the later.

and as for the image being โiconicโ...$100,000 would buy you a collection of 'iconic' banksy pieces that could actually be authenticated...i know where my non-existent $100,000 would be going
