      Banksy isn’t graffiti, he’s street art. They’re cousins but there is a difference.

      And he’s not that good, he ripped off Blek Le Rat. And he has no respect for his predecessors, going over King Robbo (RIP.) I’ll take a bomber like JA XTC or MQ, or a freight king like Ichabod or Jase over Banksy any day, personally.

          No I know most people don’t know, this is the “expert” (not that expert but in context) informing. Wasn’t trying to be a dick.

      I’ve seen good graffiti. They are good artists. On locations such as the walls of a subway station is good, but on a house no. Tattoos on the body no because it’s a blemish on the body.

        Off the top of my head the rainbow house by those Baptist nuts with the signs and a picture a kid drew for their parent before they died turned into a tattoo.

        Your purism needs to be rethought
