I'm 52, retired and financially independent.Wouldnt you be better off selling it ? You could give up that Macdonalds job then.
If they were world famous artists I could live with it. You seem unable to distinguish between art and vandalism.I'm 52, retired and financially independent.
Unlike you I live in a country where that is still possible
I have no need for graffiti
And I wouldn't eat the shit they make at any fast food grease bucket if it was free.
Why do you support vandals?
I suppose you wouldn't care if the hoodlums in your neighborhood spray painted their "art" all over your little hovel right?
Spray painting anyone's property without permission IS vandalism by definition.If they were world famous artists I could live with it. You seem unable to distinguish between art and vandalism.
Its not a difficult concept.

This article begins by looking at vandalism of a Banksy mural and then at whether he could be arrested for putting them up. The owner of the property would have the right to have it removed, if they were insane. The average Bansky is worth £400,000. Given that it will be massively improving the value of the house,and if that house belongs to you, you will be the person who makes that money few people would complain. They came to the conclusion that as he added to the value of the property, putting the artwork on was clearly not vandalism and he wasn't committing a crime.
Banksy: what happens when someone vandalises graffiti – and who owns it anyway?
The defacing of a new Banksy mural in Bristol has raised some interesting legal questions.
It usually puts up the price of the property. One person put the advert Banksy painting with 3 bedroom house. There have however been times when the wall has been removed.How do you sell a painting off of a building?
Tear the wall down and then rebuild it ? Or maybe let everyone traipse through your yard and charge them admission?
If he didn't have the permission of the owner it is vandalism. PERIOD.

As far as your continued screeching of vandalism the article said that because it put up rather than decreased the value of the property and put up by a massive degree with the average Bansky being worth £400,00 it clearly was adding to the value of the property rather than depleting it which vandalism would do. You are unable to see more than a rigid hole into which you put everyone. I take it you are not creative.
Only a weirdo would object.You assume everyone would want that so called "art" on their homes.
No only a person with taste doesn't want amateurish graffitti on their home.Only a weirdo would object.
The world of art disagrees with you.No only a person with taste doesn't want amateurish graffitti on their home.
There is nothing about any of this guy's "art" that shown any great talent.
It's not technically advanced, it's not particularly striking visually and it's nothing anyone with any rudimentary skills in drawing couldn't do.
The world of art disagrees with you.
Pretty much all decent art is left leaning. How do you cope with that ?
Well I am not an art expert but if you look at the whole of artistic expression it is clearly to do with the human condition and that is generally left leaning.Really? A Jackson Pollock is left leaning? A Van Gogh? A Monet? How do you figure?
Banksy himself thinks people are idiots for paying for his "shit" because he knows it's pedestrian at best
You are confusing a not so intelligent cartoon with actual art
Well I am not an art expert but if you look at the whole of artistic expression it is clearly to do with the human condition and that is generally left leaning.
Music,literature and all the visual arts. All left leaning.
The right is a selfish nasty creed. It doesnt inspire art in any way.
Well I am not an art expert

Ian Syer of MyArtBroker.com said: “now we have definitive reasons as to why Banksy is so popular. Not only does Banksy capture the hearts and minds of all generations, the art produced is also considered to be complex and emotive yet simple to digest and appreciate. It is an incredibly rare and pleasant combination in the art world and one which is being reflected in the rapidly rising prices of his work in the secondary market. Banksy is a national treasure and one we should all be proud of.”
