Banksy classic artwork defaced in Bristol as graffiti war re-erupts
(via The Guardian)
One of Banksy’s most famous works has been defaced in what may be the latest episode of a long-running spat with a rival street artist.
The image above a shop in Bristol, which is generally accepted as the artist’s home town, shows a police marksman with a child about to burst a paper bag behind him.
It appeared near Bristol city centre four years ago but has now been defaced with black paint. The vandalism has been signed “Team Robbo” apparently a reference to King Robbo, regarded as a founding father of the London graffiti scene.
If you follow Banksy’s work, this is a really good read.

Space Invader has balls! Invader is by no means a “local” street artist but in my opinion one of the greats. Instead of using spray-paint to tag he uses tiles in which he makes into characters from the game Space Invader. He also makes many other designs.
