Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by des77 on Feb 24, 2011 18:22:21 GMT 1, Why not tag a different wall and earn your own notoriety/ fame etc, off your own back rather than jumping on someone elses?
Thanks, glad at least 1 person understood the point I was trying to make

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by Max Beales on Feb 24, 2011 18:43:05 GMT 1, Yes, Considering that's the backbone to all tagging/graffiti. ok, il try it another way... il try even simpler scenario 1... Artist adds the oscar to the banksy piece, documents it.. then adds it to his blog. Scenario 2... Artist adds something to a Banksy piece, then tags in huge bold letters.. just in case anyone misses it. Then gets people to post the breaking news on forum, plus adds a full story on blog to back it up plus gets 'friends' to post about the story Can you see the difference in agenda ? IMO both are promotional, its just one seems a bit more contrived. Maybe im lone in thinking if I wanted to be an artist id try do it through skill, not off the name of someone else
I wasn't really replying to the whole conversation just the statement in bold. haha, I agree and know exactly what you're talking about and what mook said., of course.

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by sal on Feb 25, 2011 14:46:52 GMT 1, Crayon House Foreclosure now perspexed
now, that's good news!..
I must say I dont like the fact that Banksy's stuff gets protected like that, while all the other street art is left as it is... but, I must say that I like that better than seeing other people defacing it or whatever, using his fame to get their tags/character seen...

Through some serious Internet research I was able to locate the "Caution Fun!" piece from Banksy's website. It's located on First and Soto in Bpyle heights.

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by RPM on Feb 25, 2011 16:13:39 GMT 1, Wow. Putting perspex around that piece is ridiculous. Let's be honest, it's not the Mona Lisa. It's street art. You put it out there and let nature run its course, whether that be buffing, tagging over it, someone defacing it, or someone stealing it. If you don't gain permission to put it up (i.e. if it's not a sanctioned mural), then you're not entitled to protection. Such a shame ...

yes, it's the owner of the building that put the perspex on.

But if you own the building, you can do what you like. Its easy for us to complain about this, but if it was my property im not sure how ell id sleep if it was left to fate

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by sal on Feb 25, 2011 17:53:25 GMT 1, I really think protecting it like this is the right way to go if you own the building that its on.. it's still out on the street, so everyone can enjoy it, plus it's protecting your wall that is most likely to get more "damaged"... and Im not just talking about Banksy, but any street art piece that might pop on your wall, and you like it..

Banksy Street Art in Los Angeles, by Wearology on Feb 25, 2011 19:09:21 GMT 1, I have no idea how to post photos but Banksy is in San Diego and just completed a large rat wearing star glasses flying a kite with a family make a run for the border - TMZ just covered it. It is on the side of a taco stand.
