"A long-running feud between Banksy and graffiti legend King Robbo has spread to Islington, with one of Banksy’s iconic works recently defaced with his rival’s name.Banksy’s grafitti on Essex Road, featuring three children raising a Tesco plastic bag on a flag pole, was partly sprayed over ten days ago."

Now, you can expect a ROBBO show in some gallery, prints, canvas graffitis, a book etc in the following weeks/months. I would bet it. Robbo most certainly wants his share of fame by now, knowing the fortune and celebrity of Banksy. Street Art is becoming more and more popular in Art magazines, exhibits and auctions and Robbo might want to be part of it and have a piece of the cake. I'm glad to see the pics of the painted Robbo graff'. Seriously, the graff had already been over tagged. I'm not pro-banksy (I don't care, I do not live in England and never saw a Banksy real piece), but he's absolutely right in his interview : if you make graffiti on public or private properties you cannot claim them to be yours. It is the exact opposite to graffiti philisophy, isn't it ? Now that stupid feud might lead to Banksy's stuff defacing and even if I am not pro-banksy, his street art is far more interesting than the tags of Robbo and his mates(which are, from my humble point of view, dog's piss on a wall and nothing else, just to mark some imaginary territory). In a feud between Art and primal instinct of territory, the loser will be art, for sure because the latest will use violence, through defacing pieces.
Completely agree with this. I don't understand the comments like, "Street artists should pay their respect to the writers who paved the way for them". writers vandalized walls because of their own egos. They want to get their name all over people's property. "Robbo was here", who cares? They did it for selfish reasons. Street art, to me, while still vandalism, is less about "look at me!" and more about, "think about this". Hopefully Robbo wil make a few bucks selling some lame gallery pieces (30k for a canvas where robbo writes his name!) before he disappears for another 25 years.

This is boring, childish, pointless & certainly no improvement at what was already there.
Im defo team banksy.

I think the reason the "boy" is left out is because you're meant to replace "boy" with "toy" (a derogatory graffiti term meaning an inexperienced or unskilled writer)

From the LA Weekly interview. Great quote and thought it was quite relevant in this context.

I think you're reading too far into it.. If he meant to call him a toy he probably would.
