There might be a reason for that...

A red stop sign with three military drones on it was taken in the middle of the day by a man with bolt cutters as witnesses snapped photos and shot video in the Peckham section of south London.


That's fricked up.

Banksy’s thought-provoking street art is often seen as making a political statement. His Instagram followers widely interpreted his latest work as calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.


Oh well.

Idk why locals are so set on ruining an icon's art on display for the public


They're artists too. Why is some out of towner coming to their area taking up the good graffiti spots?

I Guess that pro athlete or rapper career didn’t pan out so onto the next thing.

Though someone was arrested, there’s still this:

The whereabouts of the sign are currently unknown. Police asked anyone with information on the incident to contact them.

Banksy's name and identity remain unconfirmed and the subject of speculation. In a 2003 interview with Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian, Banksy is described as "white, 28, scruffy casual—jeans, T-shirt, a silver tooth, silver chain and silver earring. He looks like a cross between Jimmy Nail and Mike Skinner of The Streets." Banksy began as an artist at the age of 14, was expelled from school, and served time in prison for petty crime. According to Hattenstone, "anonymity is vital to him because graffiti is illegal".

Street artist Banksy is estimated to have a net worth of more than $20 million (£15million) a year. But how does he make his money?


They seem to know a lot about the guy for him to be anonymous.

I like that his work has some creativity to it. Unlike a lot of the crap modern artists are doing these days.
