Dog Byte Buffed - Why Can't More Street Art Be Valued Like A Banksy?
Perhaps in response to Banksy's English Bulldog pissing, Dog Byte put up a new stencil entitled 'Bark Softly and Carry a Big Head'. Unfortunately, it was buffed the very next day after it went up, leaving just this puddle of white paint on the sidewalk in front of the spot where the art used to be.
Not all street art is special, but some of it really is. Banksy is great and we would love to see a similar respect shown to other top tier artists, like LA's very own stencil guru Dog Byte.

Big thanks to Bryan Mier for sending us these pics of the piece before it was buffed.
