For a Finale -- Banksy Claims Tops in the Graffiti World!

Folks outside the streets might not understand this last move from BanksyNY. Folks were talking about Banksy hitting the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. But Banksy's idea was even bigger than that. By culminating with a simple graffiti throw up, Banksy is saying that the BIG point about this month's exhibition, is to take graffiti to the next level.

Banksy definitely chose this spot on purpose. The building is filled with bombs from some of the biggest graffiti bombers in the world. Even before Banksy showed up, this was a graffiti Wall-of-Fame. Names like Nekst, Adek BTM and Lewy are as big as it gets for street bombers. And Banksy is above it all. Above all the other names, and all the other beef that writers are throwing around.

Also notice how Banksy employs a unique kind of shading with this piece.

Are all the graffiti writer's listening? Banksy is clearly talking a little shit while he is making his big point. Banksy is not just a street artist. He is also 'tops' in the graffiti world, as well.

Banksy's Back! - Waiting in Vain

After a day off the street due to police activity, Banksy is back!

His newest piece is entitled 'Waiting in Vain'.  With superb placement on the shutter gates outside of the Hustler Strip Club in New York.

This is sure to be a favorite, both in terms of its location and the content of the man holding flowers itself.

Dig it~

Good Morning Graffiti

This building on Beverly Blvd. is absolutely smashed out with graffiti.  Hot spot with writers going big.

Unfortunately, with these early morning pics, its hard to get much detail.  But action from Euro, Got1(?), Seck(?), Bozoe, Helium, Lukas and more.

Stay up!

Scandal - Banksy Bombed by BTM, or Not?

Another Banksy gets bombed over in New York.  While this is not surprising, this time the tag was supposedly by legendary New York graffiti crew BTM, or Bomb the Metro.

If its from BTM, then why does this guy's tag look like its his first time holding a spray can?

M&F calls bullshit on this being from BTM.  And why does it look like this dude shit his pants?  Shit pantsed vandal?

Check out the full story and humorous write up of events at Jacqueline M. Hadel's blog.

With a shout out to Grand Theft Auto 5, bombing like this is like living the game on the streets.

Easy to Spot, Hard to Capture

This graffiti wall is right on La Brea and easily visible from the street.  However, it is much harder to accurately capture all the action, at least during business hours.

Bombs from Ceup(?) RAS, DUI, Crace(?) and more.

Just Be

Going big rocking a building front on Melrose from Neok(?) BE.  With shout outs to Supra and Rendx.

Riding under a long-riding bomb up top from Ye.

Bomb the Senior Center Bus

Haha.  This is a funny spot to get bombed.  Right over the windows, side, and back of an active bus from an 'Adult Health Care Center' (= old folks home).

Guess the foagies that ride this bus are more hip than the boring old bland rides at the old folks home!

Action from Noms(?) and Obses One.

Borat Bombs Melrose

Borat gets bombed and brings some street back to this spot on Melrose.

Hot spot right next to the street, and over an advertisement.

Take That! Melrose~

Melrose is always slammed with art.  But most of it is stuff that makes you say "Wow.  That's cool.'' Not, "How the hell did they do that?!"

Well, this tremendous graffiti bomb is both of those things.  Like a punch in the face, this bomb dropped right on one of the hottest, most open corners on Melrose, and the piece is huge.

Letters from IDK RH with shout outs to Lens, Heru, Prism, and Bailer.

Dig it.  Stay up!

Get Up, Stay Up!

Bombed Like Your Mom's Thong

What do this graffiti wall and your mom's thong have in common?  They both use butter when getting it on!

Graffiti in West LA from Mes, Butr, IAK (all day!) and some cool letters from Dsok.

San Fran Rolls Through Melrose

Some classic graffiti heads from the San Fran area recently rolled through Melrose.

MQ, Mike Giant wrtiting TRBL (assumably for the Tribal clothing company?), and Skid One DMS.

The graffiti bombs along Melrose stepped on some local toes along the way, painting over street art and graffiti.  Wonder if these names still carry weight and will be left alone?  Or if the spots will get claimed back quick?

Graffiti Sesshions

West Side graffiti sessions with Sesh and more, with a cool character head from Asif.

Bombed Out Rooftop

It is not unusual for a rooftop in Los Angeles to host some graffiti.  What is unique about this spot, is the way the rooftop turned into a giant graffiti combo spot.

With bombs for your moms from Boast, Dcet, USO, YEU, High, Jukes and many more.

Dig it.  Stay up!
