Kill Banksy?

kill_banksyI’m not sure I totally agree with the sentiment but this did make me chuckle this morning.

A little while back I thought train graffiti was a dying art but it now seems to be back with a vengeance, in fact there’s barely an overland or underground train I see that hasn’t had something scrawled on to it’s shell. However, with an apparent abundance of street ‘artists’ there seems to be a distinct lack of talent. I remember seeing graffiti as a kid in the 80s, and even into the 90s, and just being in awe at it’s sheer brilliance. Maybe that’s the “Curly Whirly Syndrome’ (you know, like when you were a kid and a Curly Whirly was the size of your arm – of course having nothing to do with the fact that your hands were the size of a 50 pence-piece) and standards were as bad then as they are now.
