NEW BANKSY GONE IN UNDER A DAY (CUE SAD MUSIC)

October 1

Well that didn't take long for Banksy's new street art in Chinatown to get removed. Unfortunately by way of buff, and what's left isn't pretty. Guess someone in  NYC is desperate to steal Banksy's thunder. Sad, but the nature of the street game. Atleast someone got the "Graffiti is a crime" signage instead of his first new work being totally ruined. Probably expect to see that sign on ebay some point soon. Image via neilfakrull

HANKSY BANKSY HOMAGE: THE SEQUEL

"Catch Me If You Can," by Hanksy. Spotted in Soho, NY.

Everybody's favorite American actor is slowly becoming synonymous with Banksy based solely on the similarity in name spelling. Gotta enjoy some stupid fun every once in awhile. This is the most I've liked Tom Hanks since Cast Away. Via woostercollective

HOLIDAY FEVER

Allow NYC native, Stephen Powers, to remind you what's important this holiday season. And, if you are not familiar with Mr. Powers, I highly recommend Beautiful Losers, a graffiti documentary featuring his work, released in 2008.

BANKSY TAKES ANOTHER BITE OUT OF THE BIG APPLE

Banksy's tagging spree makes its way back to NYC, a familiar playground for Mr.Banksy. So it's no surprise that he brought his best work since he started this cross-country North America tag-a-thon. His 'heart doctor' makes a reappearance, first appearing in SF. As long as there are walls, I'm sure Banksy will find a way to cover them all. His ability to capture the mood of society with brutal honesty and irreverence seems endless and brilliant wherever he goes.

Pick a winner, kid.
The placard piece pretty much sums up the morale of corporate America, no?
 The return of the glorious and timeless Banksy smiley face
Banksy, the most beloved cynic since Diogenes. Fitting. (I don't claim to have known who Diogenes was, I just use Wikipedia).
San Francisco Reprise.

Bonus Shots: A selection from his cross-country graffiti tour. When will it end? Hopefully never.
Previous four all spotted in Detroit.
Spotted in Boston
Another classic in Boston
 Banksy heads north to Toronto.
Banksy hit Chicago. Only a couple for now. Come back anytime with an arsenal if you'd like.
That's all for now. Here's hoping he stays in the States for a while and keeps on tagging along. Would like to see him start showing up in metro areas like Atlanta, Milwaukee, Dallas, heck, why not Arizona? I'm sure he'd have a lot to say there.
