They just had to didn’t they: Warhol vs Banksy.
Which reminds me. I’ve been meaning to have a bit of a letoff about this…
It’s a bit of Banksy stencil art on a wall in Brighton (on the side of the Prince Albert pub on Trafalger St if you care), but it’s been protected with a layer of bullet-proof perspex. Maybe I’m being a bit of a tit, but if you’re making a statement by using ‘da streetz’ as your canvas then it’s a bit fucked up to be having some kind of VIP treatment, isn’t it? I know Banksy didn’t request his ‘art’ be encased in this way…
Oh bollocks, by talking about it I’m helping to make it important. I’ll shut up.
