Banksy update

Press release from Bristol City Council:

"18/07/2006 - New Banksy to stay.

Overwhelming support from the Bristol public means that the new "Banksy"image will stay, although the council warns against "tagging" and graffiti as vandalism.

Which is kind of interesting - if you're famous graff is ok, but the other Bristol graff-ers should be locked up?

Check my pictures of the piece here, here and here....

Interingness re the latest banksy piece in Bristol - the Council are asking the public whether to keep it or not (here), which i thought was kind of cool, except it's typical Council, refusing to take a decision themselves - and it was pointed out that it's separating banksy from other graff artists in town - he's famous, keep it - prosecute everyone else. Still, it's very amusing - it's been picked up in the papers (well, the Metro, a free paper), and it was on the BBC news this morning (article here). And isn't there still an arrest warrant out on him in the city?
