I'm totally mystified.

Is there some sort of significance of that wall?

It's a Banksy wall. But the $7,500 has paint splatter

drymount me this guy is a hack. But there are obviously enough people out there willing to part with their hard earned cash to buy his stuff.

105 @ $950 = $99,750
10 @ $7,500 = $75,000
TOTAL - $174,750 :shock:


Lots of legal fees and schools fees to pay for.

He might get a pass for irony this time for saying LIB with that image. Holiday's life was largely anything but.

It should have been obvious to me, but it's actually MBW's wall:

http://www.laweekly.com/news/mbw-all-over-la-2367993

It was created in 2008 to promote his LA show. You can see his website address promoting it bottom left: "artshow2008.com"

Still a bit questionable when all he's doing is dressing up a photo of his own work. But not as bad as dressing up someone else's work.

A lot of what I read is that it is a Banksy.... further fuels the fire they are one in the same.

Please share with us what you are reading that says it is a Banksy. Thanks.

What I like most is the lettering. POW Camp Drip is an iconic font.
