I dont really have a word for how I see banksy art anymore. He's moved up in the world and it's not that it's a bad thing.. But the gallery shows and animal stuff.. it just seems really detached from all his street work?
There is a book (another , yes) about the start of the melbourne scene coming out soon, which I'd like to get.

In my town I'm surrounded by tags (more so in the last 12 months again) paste ups, and stencils mostly. There are big works around trains/lines, but just not on the same scale as the former.
