so, maybe the graffiti here isn't the focal point, but I doubt anybody would complain.

"HIP HOP FILES: Photographs, 1979 1984" by Martha Cooper

and backtracking a little bit, BANKSY continues his rolling film tour in the states, and to promote this innovational creative piece of filmography, he is tagging all the different locales in which the screenings are being held.

Correction: about those Toronto pieces? Yeah, they're getting shafted.

"Famed British street artist Banksy has never done any work on Toronto streets before—at least not, it looks like, until now.

Three new pieces in Banksy's distinctive style have popped up on walls in Toronto over the past two days: one's near Trinity Bellwoods Park, another's near Union Station, and a final one's around the Rogers Centre. (We've been asked to keep the exact locations private, lest "bad intentions" lead to them being chipped away and sold.)"

They are not just being stolen... in an ironic twist, they're actually being defaced and tagged themselves.

New Banksy pieces spotted in and around Boston
(above: Chinatown; below: Central Square, Cambridge).

(as I've continually done, this is a progressing endeavor to update and detail where the newest "graffitic / street art" pieces done by BANKSY are appearing in North America, as a direct correlation to his new film, "Exit Through the Gift Shop".)

(you can probably guess who this is by) seen in downtown Manhattan

and if you ever wondered for what reason this gigantic thing was there for...
http://i50.tinypic.com/23kyywk.jpg
it was probably just to liven up the neighborhood (created / installed in Soho, NYC the first go-around, near two years ago)

sadly the banksy rat was painted over recently.. shame because it was some character.

Thanks for telling us about that, Cynth. I haven't actually seen the piece in person (haven't been to NYC in the past 4 years) but I thought I still could have had a chance. I might have to do some research and see if the "other" giant Banksy rat is still up, though I think that one is in London.

Thanks for those last few posts especially, Jetee. Awesome film.

I'm happy to oblige just a few minutes if it brings about lasting memories and insights. And when you say "awesome film", I assume that to mean you were witness to Banksy's new film, I suppose?

It's unreal in the way he almost created a new genre of filmmaking and marketmanship, just because he was being stalked by some French guy with a mission to interview him.


And apologies to those who may feel I'm making too much fuss, and giving too much exposure to any one Graffitic artist, but for 1) He's arguably the most renowned street artist, let alone actual "artist", worldwide right now (probably due to the fact his pieces can actually be seen in streets worldwide) coming up to 2) in that he is also one of the most "mysterious" personalities we have seen since Dali (or even Daft Punk) and finally 3) these graffiti/street art installations are actually beginning to spawn in nearly every Metropolitan area's backyards, so if you do get a chance, why not see what the fuss his message is actually about, I say.
