Last Graffiti Before Motorway - VANDALISED, by Guest on Mar 23, 2009 16:53:05 GMT 1, We are talking about two very different things. Why destroy a piece of graffiti that thousands of people would have enjoyed being able to visit  Thousands of people were interested in the message Banksy had to say with his piece, and I have a feeling very few feel the same about the "Price Less" statement. Why spoil things for other people just because that one person has a chip on his shoulder about Banksy. I agree with thegreatarchitect & badrobot about it could have been maybe Mr B Let people enjoy them for a while then destroy before anyone can steal...
I would not of thought that Mr B would have his own work destroyed with such a crap slogan, and then have it in the daily mail.

Don't you think it's odd that the Daily Mail aren't bigging up their Robin Gunningham theory in their article?

Either way, the publication of images of it happening, and the tone of their article implicitly condones it, you can almost hear them revelling with glee.

Banksy artwork in Hendon defaced by vandal in potential protest attack
12:17pm Monday 23rd March 2009

By Kevin Bradford »
A graffiti artist has vandalised a Banksy image in Hendon in an apparent show of disdain towards his fellow spray painter.
Less than a month after the painting appeared on the wall of a substation at the junction with the A1 and the A406 North Circular Road, it has been defaced by another urban artist.
Before being targeted, the image depicted a boy seemingly marking the wall of a power station with the words “Last Graffiti Before Motorway”.
But over the weekend someone painted the word “PRICE-LESS” across the wall, with one national paper yesterday running pictures of him in action.
Some have suggested it is a protest by another artist who may believe Banksy has forgotten the “true meaning” of urban art following his success.
Members of the Banksy Forum website, which follows the artist’s work, have condemned the art attack, with one member saying the perpetrator is “jealous, and bitter”.
Another man, who calls himself buddings, responded to suggestions Banksy only carries out work for financial gain, by writing: “I don’t get this at all.
“Banksy wasn't paid to do it, he wasn’t hoping someone would sell the wall. Banksy could have done the same image on a canvas from the comfort of his studio for a massive amount of money but instead goes out in the middle of the night and gives London a little gift.”
He added: “How the hell does this remind Banksy of what urban art is all about?“
Forum member happy shopper said: “Obviously done by an idiot with no style at all.”
The substation is owned by Transport for London (TfL), who have previously said they are considering how best to deal with the artwork.

Last Graffiti Before Motorway - VANDALISED, by thegreatarchitect on Mar 24, 2009 15:41:29 GMT 1, Did the Daily Mail attend when a disgruntled artist accidentally set fire to himself when he tried to incinerate David Mach's Submarine construction with car tires Because somewhere in the back of my mind think they did after he contacted the papers to inform them of his intentions?

Last Graffiti Before Motorway - VANDALISED, by fuzzed on Mar 24, 2009 18:48:17 GMT 1, My question is why aren't the Daily Mail hunting down whoever painted this for causing an act of vandalism? Isn't that the sort of thing they normally do?

Thousands of people were interested in the message Banksy had to say with his piece, and I have a feeling very few feel the same about the "Price Less" statement.
