Bansky Fever!
So I've been a fan of Bansky for awhile and he has recently been leaving his mark around San Francisco. Bansky is an anonymous British street artist, AKA Graffiti artist. He has a movie out now that was recently shown at Sundance (to those lucky, willing to wait fans). Its called, "Exit through the Gift Shop." Well, when I heard that there was a sighting, I had to go and check it out. I found the following Peace & Love on Commercial and Grant Avenue in Chinatown. Let me tell you that when I first saw it, it was like finding gold. My heart started pounding and I felt kinda frozen. I noticed that that there was some plastic covering the artwork to preserve it. Apparently, some of his other works in the city have been painted over. I hope not all of them!

I am so jealous that Banksy is in your neck of the woods. I don't think he'll ever make it to Minneapolis.

ReplyDeleteI love this! I would like to have this on a t-shirt! Too bad they are painting over them.
ReplyDeletegreat; I didn't know Banksy had been at work over there; kind regards, Charles
ReplyDeleteBanksy is a great artist. I remember last year when someone published a photo which was said to be him. Not sure if it really was him.
ReplyDeleteHe is quite a legend.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! So envious of your find!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot in capturing this piece of art work.
