leake street update, by Maxie on Jul 3, 2008 9:35:20 GMT 1, walking home the other day i noticed that there has been a mass tag session taking place over most of the works.
Also someone has tried unsucessfully to chip away the banksy signature from one of his efforts (the cleaner guy one)
And a massive silver tag saying 'Fu*k the buff' over it
Hmmm It does open a debate really, is this just mindless graffiti or another expression of urban art???
I know which i would rather look at...

leake street update, by jynormous on Jul 3, 2008 9:53:18 GMT 1, I was there last Friday night having a look through very drunken eyes on the way home form a work party and i must say, i didnt notice that the Banksy cleaner had been tagged over.
Cops were walking through there quite often and at one stage they almost busted Grafter, but true to his style he got away to paint another day.
I dont think this is another expression of art. To me this has to be done by young teens without a sence of respect. Im not saying this type of stuff doesnt have its place in the world of street art, just that if people are going to carry it out, they should have some respect to other artists. Though i can see why Banksy would be a target.
Anyway, its a shame but im glad i got my photo before they killed the vibe.
