New Banksy? Reading Prison , by Sam Am on Mar 7, 2021 14:23:11 GMT 1,
had a little detour today, absolutely love it although it’s yet to be covered and it’s only a matter of time before someone throws some paint over it..

Such mixed feelings about it. Always think it’s such a shame, especially after it’s generally to raise awareness of a good cause, but then... it’s just graffiti and that’s how it goes. 🤨🤷🏻♂️😫

Another interesting part of that article... notice under one of the pictures it says the Banksy mural has renewed interest in turning the prison into an arts venue?
I’ve heard through arts contacts on LinkedIn that the Banksy mural was actually a planned piece of PR for the new arts centre (or that’s how it seems).

A protest against the creation of an art centre is good to see? Strange values.

Will be a spotty little skateboarder in his teens, probably doesn't even know who Robbo was.
Reading is a dump, this doesn't surprise me.

For derailing efforts to create an arts centre?

But it’s not particularly a great hand style though? The original spat between both Banksy and Robbo was creative. Both using each other pieces to create something with a little bit of flare. This is just dogging.
If they wanted to dog this like Robbo would have, it needed a bit of creativity, maybe a tag with scissors coming off to cut the rope, or a hole or trap where the prisoner would land in for eg, Maybe just something a little bit creative. 🤷🏻♂️

The art centre project hasn't been derailed by this, if anything its more publicly.
The Banksy piece hasn't been ruined either.
