So Liverpool got another Banksy last week (my photo of the other Liverpool Banksy is here – it’s currently under scaffolding again) but before I had chance to get a shot of it, it has been…defaced? Added to? Bit of a debate to be had there.
I originally thought that was just somebody being an arse but a quick Google search revealed that Robbo probably refers to “King Robbo”, a rival graffiti artist that Banksy was having a “war of the walls” with before he had an accident and ended up in a coma. It’ll be interesting to see if there is any retaliation from the original artist.
If you fancy owning a bit of a Banksy and you’ve got a spare tenner or so (assuming it doesn’t go massively expensive in the next week) then check out this somewhat optimistic eBay auction – someone’s chancing their arm there! 🙂

£14.70 for a random stone speckled with some of Montanas finest, plus £7 postage… 8 bids as well. When I started art college in 2004 Banksy was a wanted man (back when they classed him as a vandal) now he’s worth silly money, good luck to him I say.
