    at Valencia x 19th. A great piece. I haven't seen the Banksy movie yet, but need to.

    Banksy is in San Fran now as well? Excellent! Let's hope his work is still there in a couple of months :)
    And yes indeed, it does look nice when it's framed haha!

    awesome how you frame it. i cross my fingers every time to go to SF that'll see a piece from banksy.

  25. Thomas Hawk (25 months ago | reply)

    It was really great seeing his stuff show up in SF. I'm bummed that I didn't get a chance to shoot the Alcatraz piece or the rat in Fisherman's Wharf. Apparently there was a big rat around 24th and Valencia that also got taken down. Gotta be quick. Hopefully the pieces up now stay up.

    SF really needs Banksy I think. I hope he comes back and paints some more. Street art has been down it feels like over the past few years. Probably in part due to graffiti clean up dollars as well as Gavin Newsom's less tolerant attitude towards it than previous mayors. It seems like the available space to paint is also down.

    When I was down in Miami I was BLOWN away at how much bigger Miami is now for street art than SF. No comparison. SF definitely has some catching up to do. Hopefully Banksy's visit puts a little bit of a spark in the SF street art scene.

  26. jayellifrits (25 months ago | reply)

    I MOS DEF agree with you. Even though i havent seen the streets of Miami, SF really does need to step up their game. Im sure once Banksy comes back over here, others will follow.

    this one's been painted over now.

  28. ThatBeeGirl (23 months ago | reply)

    it's now been painted over? say it ain't so, thomas!

  29. Thomas Hawk (23 months ago | reply)

    yep, unfortunately. I went by there last week to show it to some people on a photowalk and it was gone.

    *snickering joyously over here*

    if it were my building, i would've ripped the wood panels off and sold the damn thing to some museum with a huge acquisition fund. coulda paid for a whole new building one day!!!!

  31. Thomas Hawk (23 months ago | reply)

    interestingly enough it's already been painted over. I'm not sure people understand the value of art.

  32. torbakhopper (23 months ago | reply)

    i thought bansky was graffiti
    :-P

    no, seriously, i read the thread and how it had been painted over and all i can say is you'd have to be fking stupid not to try to cash in on "banksy's" stuff. i'd drill a cement wall out of foundation if i had to -- not that banksy's stuff is so wonderful, it's just so economically exposed that you couldn't lose if you held onto it for five years and then put it on ebay.

    but i will say that banksy's sentiments ALWAYS make me laugh or smile. i wanna join that medea armee!!!!
