On Banksy’s Graffiti War With King Robbo

May 4th, 2010 . by admin

It seems that Banksy loves to stir it up a bit, spraying over a 25 year old graffiti piece by King Robbo with his own iconic Banksy graffiti style down at Regent’s Canal in North London.

This provoked King Robbo himself to spray over Banksy’s own work.  There is an unwritten law in the graffiti world that you leave artist’s works alone, so it’s very strange that Banksy would choose to ignore this code and provoke the wrath of not only King Robbo, but other graffiti artists too.   And he has.  Some of his own works have been defaced by other artists in reaction to what Banksy did.

    you like solos then watch petrucci or whoever… don’t come here and comment to make yourself look like a idiot. I couldnt careless if they pull of a solo or not because u2 touches something that almost no other band can. and to me it seems you are jealous since you are probably playing at a shabby 2 dollar bar while u2 fills stadiums with a hundred thousand people. fag
