People Interacting with BanksyNY

It is always awesome to see all the different ways that people interact with Banksy's outdoor pieces. This post is is about the people.

Click to check out many different looks at all kinds of people posing like street-corner Vanna White's and interacting with Banksy's pieces in all kinds of fun and amusing ways.

Coast to Coast Unofficial Pest Control

M&F has to do this all the time in Los Angeles.  Its like M&F is LA's unofficial Pest Control.

And here is a coast-to-coast attempt at Unofficial Pest Control.  A lot of folks have spotted this image of a dog peeing on a hydrant, and the hydrant has a thought bubble saying 'You complete me'.  Many people are suggesting that this might be a Banksy.  There even appears to be a phone number below on the ground, indicating that this is from Banksy (pictured below).  M&F thinks not.

It is unlikely that this hydrant piece is from Banksy.  Banksy already claimed his dog pissing.

Piss & Street Art - Marking Territory

M&F always loves when the worlds of piss and street art collide.

Its because street art is rooted in human's natural animalistic desire to mark territory.

Yup.

Here is a homeless dude taking a big piss in front of a bankrupt slut from Bankrupt Slut and a Homer Simpson head from KYC.

Graffiti is like Pissing to Mark Territory

M&F has said it many times before, graffiti is a primal activity that is rooted in humans' animal instinct to mark territory.  Its like an animal pissing.

Well, it might be redundant, but her is a shot combining both methods of marking territory.  A golden shower of piss in front of tunnel graffiti next to the beach in Ventura County.

Remember, when it says 'Drains to Ocean', this is where it ends up.  And no matter where you go in California, someone has probably marked territory there one way or another.

Drain your thang.  Enjoy the pics. You are welcome~

Random Dance of Life

Random Act gets up with a fresh hand painted piece featuring the silhouette of a dancer in front of a sunflower.

Painted on a map from one of Random Act's travels.  Beautiful work

Shasta is also a friend o Random Act and her dogs, and perhaps Shasta smells her friends were here as she marks territory next to the box.

Dig it.  Stay up~

"I'm Looking at the Lady Behind You Peeing"

Never know what you're gonna see on the streets.

As M&F came around the corner of this street art spot on Melrose, we noticed a trickle of liquid rolling down from the alley way towards the street.  When we looked up, we saw this woman squatting down taking a piss in the alley way.

We thought this moment was fascinating for many reasons.  First of all, the spot is right out in the open, and there are more discreet options around, even if you are choosing to pee outside.  But, more importantly, street art and graffiti often get compared to the primal act of pissing to mark territory.  Well, here is someone on the streets actually marking territory with piss.

So we took our camera out to document this moment, when the guy presiding over the woman peeing turned towards us aggressively and demanded "Hey!  What are you looking at!?"

The truth is usually the best option, so M&F told him "I'm looking at the lady behind you peeing."

The guy smiled and laughed and said with a semi-toothless grin "Hope you got some good pictures!"
