elaine: do you mean this one? i was sad to see that it was gone when i visited recently.

Thats so sad the banksy pulp fiction one is replaced by complete crap.
Majorly impressed by the editors here this is a well kept site. I guess it could be called "more graf photos from London" or something along those lines. Spankyou!

yeah, jamie. i was sad to see it was gone, it felt like a hex. it was a good local landmark and tied together the other ones in the neighbourhood like a well hung exhibition (some local grafs from the time here). it does feel like a shame, spanky, but it is weird to feel precious about grafitti... although like honour among thieves, it seems like 'vandalism' when good artworks are destroyed with crap. i also hated it when this happened to my beloved sixy trolls (i didn't paint them btw but felt personally injured when they were so artlessly bludgeoned)

i agree. personally i'm a huge non-fan of tagging/bombing unless it's somehow unique and or equisitely executed. The sixy trolls were a modern masterpiece and their loss is a true crime.

i love the before and after nature of graf. especially in places i pass on a daily/regular basis. i love watching the evolution. even when something bad goes over something good, sadly enough. i love seeing people coming along and "avenging" the going over with something even better :)

things would get stagnant otherwise. this for example or this one, too.

yeah, i gotta say that i think its a pretty sad thing when a real piece of art like the banksy piece gets slapped over by some novice

I was sort of gutted the Banksy' Pulp Fiction one was gone - still every thing has its day and ' Fuck Alqaida' was done just after the tube bombings , so was at least done with real feeling .... I was on my way to Kings Cross to cover the press conference and flower tributes for my newspaper when I saw it first . Email me if you want a copy.

I don't think this is a banksy piece just some ones own atempt at a recreation. Its in the same spot as the original so some one obviously missed it so much they had a hack at it themselves!

Well if it's not by Banksy why is it featured in Wall and Piece ?
keep it real

all you arty farty idiots have no clue about real graf, and it's origins..... Banksy started out painting track sides and bombing... and as for 'novice's'.... oh my god listen to yourselves grafiti and street culture go hand in hand you can't divorce real writers from urban art... bombing was the route of ALL grafiti so just cos you wear skinny jeans and apprecitae the finer cultural comments Banksy and other stencil writers make about society it doesn't mean you have the authority to criticise taggers and REAL WRITERS.... so go back to old street sniff your joke and chat shit about Banksy.. your all a bunch of mugs!!!!
