New Mr. Brainwash posters have been going up in Los Angeles, but is it Mr. Brainwash putting these up?
We know that Mr. Brainwash has a team that works with them, we are not asking if someone on his team put these up, we are wondering if these new pieces are from the MBW camp at all?
There are a few reasons why it seems suspicious. First of all, the material of the posters themselves. These are movie posters. They are printed in full color and have a gloss effect, which makes it hard for the glue to bond with and is essentially poor material for getting up on the streets. Back when Mr. Brainwash was getting up in LA, his pieces were clearly street oriented, so this doesn't make sense.
And secondly, street art seems to be like a recovering addict. You don't pick up taking a few nervous hits off the pipe, when you take a break you pick back up where you left off. And it doesn't make sense that after going big and smashing the city MBW would simply places a few measly posters around town.
So, someone's getting up with Mr. Brainwash posters, but is it Mr. Brainwash?
I think this poster was given out at Exit Through the Gift Shop so it could be anybody. Or maybe MBW has surplus of crappy posters that nobody wants and has ordered his minions to upload them on streets.
ReplyDeleteMight not be him... either way, that rip-off Banksy rat pisses me off.
ReplyDelete@anonymous, if you knew the back story to the piece you wouldn't be pissed off. Too bad everyone and anyone sucks off Banksy and he can do no wrong, the Jehovah of street art. I admire and respect him, but I do not suck his balls. Let me know if you'd like the real story behind it, and if you'd like to stop hiding behind your anon. username.
ReplyDelete@d1g!tal are you referring to Blek Le Rat or the general use or 'rats'? I'm talking about how its an exact copy of banksy's (with stupid glasses and a different sign). In case you don't remember... http://atticusthird.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/banksy-rat.jpg
