Graffiti Days I

Posted by Michael (Wuppertal, Germany) on 17 November 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

Based on an idea of our community friend Dimitrios, here is my contribution for the first of the two graffiti days. I shot it this year in London. Its a graffiti made by the famous "Banksy". If you want to learn more about Banksy:

Wow! a great find Michael. Banksy has to be one of the best graffiti artists, although some of his subjects can be quite controversial, they always amaze me.

Der Banksy scheint ja ein richtiger Künstler zu sein. Leider sind die meisten Graffitys nur Schmierereien die eine Menge Geld kosten sie wieder los zu werden.
Die Sepiatonung passt perfekt dazu. Sehr schön gesehen und festgehalten.

@Harald: Danke, Harald! Ja, in England ist der schon richtig berühmt für seine Arbeiten. Es geht sogar schon soweit, das manche sich damit brüsten, einen echten "echten Baksy" daheim zu haben- sozusgane eine Auftragsarbeit. Nur: sowas macht der garnicht....
