Banksy In NYC

just heard about his "secret auction" canvasses going for 60$

That guy who bought 4 is going to be stacked now

Loved Barstool's take on this:

"The past couple weeks I’ve been seeing this name every where I go. In the Post and the News and all these New York blogs. All over twitter and shit. Banksy, Banksy. I don’t know no Banksy.

Thought he was some New York City art legend I had never heard of. Nope. Apparently he’s some British asshole whos in New York for the next month putting up graffiti all over town and loser art hipsters are cumming in their pants over him. This Banksy get needs to take a fucking hike. Because you can just tell he thinks he’s hot shit. Like “I’m gracing you with my presence from across the pond” sorta bullshit. Releasing one mysterious piece of graffiti every day like people should be waiting for him with bated breath. Selling his stupid pictures for 60 bucks even though they’re worth like $31,000. 31 grand! Get out of my fucking face! There’s only one person in the world who’s a bigger asshole than the people who pay 31K for a random graffiti picture. Do you know who that is? Its the guy who could sell his pictures for $31,000 but sells them for 60 instead to be all artsy and shit.

In summation, fuck this Banksy cat who thinks he’s hot shit and fuck his “fans” who spend 30 grand on his posters while they chase him all around the world. Buncha assholes. The whole lot of them."

half of being a great artist is playing the part. Ever pick up an art history textbook? American artists can drop psychobabble like it's writing a children's book too.
