November 1st or December 1st?, by sammyman on Oct 16, 2008 22:51:28 GMT 1, What do you think that big rat in NYC says? Is it the Ghetto in December or another Banksy show in November? Or something else altogether? Or completely insignificant.

I wouldn't underestimate Banksy's ability to use the city landscape to his advantage as his work is clearly very well thought out. I hope it's one of those days regardless as it means there is another show and it certainly would make that rat composition that much better in hindsight.

They no longer paint ads on those walls, vinyl printing... now if its a message or not who knows. As stated above his work is clearly very well thought out.

Colossal Media does hand painted adverts. Just read their site:
"Colossal Media is a unique way to get the attention and spark the curiosity of a new generation jaded by the oversaturated media market. All of our hand painted wallscapes become an organic part of the urban environment they're in. Benefit not only from your paid advertising space, but also from the days leading up to completion of the project. Colossal always draws the crowd when in production, as this stage becomes a live art forum. You get a huge PR performance while your ad is being painted!"
I'm sure this is one of the reasons Banksy chose them. The other is that Colossal has its roots in a now defunct graffiti magazine. They are not your typical ad firm. As to the date and location?

That's very true, hard to tell at the moment! It may be a little obvious for banksy but we'll see!
