How To Sell A Banksy: Movie Trailer (17 pics)

I'm not totally sure I can agree with a movie about someone tearing down a perfectly good piece of street art, let alone destroying something done by Banksy, just to turn a profit.  Actually, this is pretty fucked up!  My only hope is that Banksy himself is responsible for the movie and we will learn of this mind melt in the near future. As of right now I say save your cash because you'll need a pile of it if you're ever going to afford a Banksy.

Graffiti Is The New Black

Graff and street art have been around since before the ancient Egypians constructed the pyramids but over the past decade it seems like it is finally getting noticed as "true" art by the mainstream.  Simply writing your name on a wall or sign has come a long way.  Check the above pic of a huge piece I shot in NY by Banksy.  Pretty redonkulous when you think that he had to hit this 3 story building while avoiding the fuzz... There are several colabs of graff artists out there that are enciting havok on a nightly basis (and sometimes daily basis, if they have the fun factories).  The Seventh Letter brings together some of the best on the street. Revok, Retna, Reyes, Ewok, just to name a few.  It's great to see these guys taking their art to the next level and getting recognition from galleries, museums and brands like Luis Vutton and Marc Jacobs.  Keep up the good work kids.
