Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by iamzero on Oct 5, 2013 12:33:38 GMT 1, And yes I would've taken that sign knowing someone else would've done it anyway. Not proud but fact is I don't own any Banksy pieces and that would've stayed with me forever and not become part of some gallery profiteer.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Petrusino on Oct 5, 2013 12:35:02 GMT 1, I wont get into too much detail but BTM is a legit crew with some of the best bombers painting right now. Some of the Banksy pieces have been placed near their work. Well respected crew across the US. I wouldnt judge handstyles and so forth unless you know really what and who you are speaking on. I dont condone the tag or just sticking up for graffiti but that handstyle is not from a toy and although looks sloppy If it is who I think it is its a got some history. Not giving too much up but this oneflow style is a style that originated from busshopper kids tagging fast without stopping. It is one of the staples of handstyles in certain areas, dont want to say too much as this isnt about tagging. Just thought for all the trash comments on the tag i would suggest bash the intent or the action not the graffiti aspect. On a side note it is pretty nuts seeing all this take place in real time almost through social media and forums like this. Interesting world we live in now. Robbo could give them a lesson on how to cross a King ...

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by bigtlt on Oct 5, 2013 12:35:22 GMT 1, Can join on pc/mac Wizzy, but it doesn't work as well as on a phone. I can't work out how to use it from my mac.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by naughtyshorty on Oct 5, 2013 13:17:30 GMT 1, I'm not a general fan of graffiti believe it or not- and prefer the art aspect of it. Not proposing we get into a debate re the styles Etc- and I totally respect the point about the style of tagging, but.... It looks shit. Fine banksy's stuff will get tagged but I personally think that sort of tagging is the laziest form of 'response to it'. For me, it just devalues the whole scene and undermines that particular crew

I know that BTM is a well respected crew in US. And it is not a problem of tag aesthetic. The first time I went in NYC in 1988 I was thrilled by the subway bombed by the legendary 357 crew (I have great pics of those subway cabs, and through social medias I contacted some of the members of the crew after 25 years!). Who loves street art, loves tags and walls bombed. * But... Many street art blogs are not so sure that the Banksy has been bombed by a legit member of BTM. Melrose & Fairfax for example "Another Banksy gets bombed over in New York. While this is not surprising, this time the tag was supposedly by legendary New York graffiti crew BTM, or Bomb the Metro. If its from BTM, then why does this guy's tag look like its his first time holding a spray can?" * I have another more important question. How Banksy NYC October is perceived by NYC street artists and crews? Do they see Banksy as an invader, an usurper and they act to protect their territory?

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by graffuturism on Oct 5, 2013 14:33:45 GMT 1, I wouldnt consider Melrose and Fairfax a legitimate source at all for anything graffiti related, I am sure they got some knowlwedge but their strength seems to be more street art. If animalnewyork said it or 12ozprophet saying it was not legit it would carry more weight. Like I said not to derail the thread just wanted to give some perspective. As far as Bomb the metro I never had heard that used with BTM but they have many meanings I am sure it could be one, but BTM the BTM that I am referencing is not from 1988 or the old NY days its is a more recent crew that have multiple kings putting in work all over NY to SF. Any writer from NY knows BTM and walking around as a non-writer I am sure you would see them farely alot.
As far as writers, NY has a long history and NY is one of the most agressive cities to paint in regardless if you are a street artist or another tagger. Whether it was banksy or Twist each has to earn the respect or pay respects to the writers during their stay, and even then you will still get other writers not in the know possibly hacking out of towners. I see this is pretty normal most are treated the same. Even way Back when Twist first arrived in NY back in the nineties he had to earn his right to run without being dissed. A name or how great the art is doesnt translate all the time to the streets. There is also the fact that it probably gets annoying hearing about Banksy over and Over so why not get some fame I guess. They know he wont stick around for the months and years it takes to really make an impact in the NY streets so maybe it could be like why should you run when we dont get the chance to run. This is hypothetical of course but I am sure pretty close to some of the views. I have talked to many writers and artists out there recently and we have not had a conversation about it yet which means it may not be that big of deal to everyone.
I like that he is taking the work to the streets, and I am sure he knows the history of the city he is painting in and I am also pretty positive if he was in town or is, he would have been hanging with some writers as well as artists. Banksy seems to be one of the guys that actually knows who BTM is and probably is honored that an established crew dissed him not some iphone photographers doodling on it. Its maybe more street cred. haha.

Just to say I have no prejudice against graffiti, tags and bombed walls. Coming back to Banksy obviously it is different if the tagger is a legit member of BTM or a wannabe guy. I thought that BTM is this: see the video on 12ozprophet.com. Is the same crew? I agree with your point of view about the acceptance of a visiting street artist in a city like New York.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Deleted on Oct 5, 2013 15:18:18 GMT 1, That's funny cause I think your post devalues the whole scene. Viva Graffiti. Viva Street Art. How? Because I look at the scene as a whole and not as just a form of art on the street. It's many real people taking part in it in many different ways and for many different reasons and I respect them all for getting up. Graffuturimism's post about the NY scene is pretty much how I see the entire scene but I could never have put it so well. I'm sure Banksy knows exactly what he is doing. Tagging is a graf fundamental. As is placement.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Deleted on Oct 5, 2013 15:43:23 GMT 1, Accepted, but do you still see banksy as a graff artist? Do you even think he does? I see Banksy as being on another level.I see him as an artist involved in this scene.Whether he thinks he is a graff artist any more, or ever did, I don't know. I would say he was once and part of him misses that. I'd really like to believe that he genuinely is not happy with some aspects of his journey so far but who am I and how am I to know? I really don't know what he is trying to do or say with this NY 'show' but I hope it will become clearer and whatever happens happens. I love it.

Apparently that is today's update. I guess a photo would have made finding it too easy

Banksy is and was a graffiti artist before a street artist. I dont think he cares either way, but I know from past actions supporting graffiti artists that he still might have an affinity towards his history before the street art craze.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by johnnyh on Oct 5, 2013 16:21:30 GMT 1, It's not about Banksy as a graff artist it's about Banksy. This is very contrived (not meant in a bad way) he knows exactly what he is doing he chose Tag Central New York and the placement of the pieces. He chose the city and the environment knowing this. It's about him. They think he is an English dick head mowing their lawn not sure how to say in "my New York accent" It's not 30days of everlasting beautiful pieces it's 31 days of this That's why it's massive and will continue to grow. Discussion, tagging, repair,disappearing, new piece ,press, new press etcetcetc Look at it only day 5 It's quite masterful genius....... Banksy That's why he is Banksy it's ahead of the game Lots of people doing political and pretty picture this is urban media

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Dr Plip on Oct 5, 2013 16:28:50 GMT 1, The new Banksy piece seems to be a 1992 GMC truck with a waterfall & butterflies. Moves to a new place every morning at dusk. Just read on twitter Now that's what I call a moving image.

Every MORNING at dusk? Not even Banksy is capable of that.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Deleted on Oct 5, 2013 16:46:42 GMT 1, I know this wont be a popular post but I just hope he raises his game a bit.
I thought that the dog and hydrant and his 'My NY accent' were far off what he's capable of and certainly not exactly classic Banksy images. I'm always reading here how he's 'on another level' to the others but he hasn't demonstrated this so far in his show.
Ok there's more to come and I did like the No graffiti sign one but overall this has not been as good as I was expecting so far.
I know some people can get a bit touchy if anyone criticises Banksy but this is just my opinion. Others may agree and others may not.
