BanksyNY - Posin' Before the Art Gets Closed In

THIS is Why Banksy Does Not Reveal His Identity

Funny video here where a man impersonates Banksy at Banksy x Os Gemeos Outdoor Gallery Exhibition.

This is hilarious, not because the dude is an obvious fraud dressed up in a Matlock-mustache and dark blue hoody saying 'Banksy'.  But because the crowd is what makes this funny, and as soon as the dude starts pretending to be Banksy, people start believing he is Banksy.

Every wonder why Banksy doesn't reveal his identity? (and, in M&F's opinion, why other street artists shouldn't either)?  To escape god-awful mundane questions like the ones Banksy starts to get as soon as he gets identified.  

The fans are stereotypical of the art world and the art world is boring as hell.  At the highest level, Banksy is art's only savior, at this point.

Front Yard Photo Shoot

LA is like one giant green screen.  The entire city is a giant photo opportunity.

Like here.  Someone is taking advantage of a front yard sunflower garden to use as a background for a photo shoot with some washboard abs.

Work it!~

You are Invincible!

So, M&F started doing a simple thing that has been fun the few times we've tried it.  Instead of just snapping pictures of people walking by street art, sometimes we will ask the people to pose in front of it.

Like here, this dude was trying to creep through the photo but when we asked him, he was more than happy to strike a few poses.  Dig it.  Like the Morley paster says, you are invincible, bro!

Stay up and stay invincible!

Cops Aren't People

Most of the street art we peeped in Carlsbad was good natured.

This is the edgiest piece we saw, so edgy that  it is downright mean.

Its a modified postal sticker saying 'Cops Aren't People'.

Lost wallet!
