“graffiti is a crime”
from banksy posted in art and design by nevereatshreddedwheat
Street artist Banksy ran wild in New York in October 2013 adding a new piece each day somewhere in the city for a real-time show he called BETTER OUT THAN IN.
Here's the former location of day 1, a street urchin standing on his friend's back pointing to a sign that reads "GRAFFITI IS A CRIME."
It's already been painted over, but you can listen to the audio guide on his site for some tongue-in-cheek info about the piece.

It's no longer here. Sorry. Someone chiseled it off the wall and put it up for sale on an auction website, which I guess is something you can do if you're a cretin.

There was a dispute over whether this origami crane with goldfish was actually a Banksy piece until he claimed it on his website. It's located in Lyme Regis right down the road from here on Coombe St. on the side of a building next to the canal.

Banksy's sweatshop laborer on the side of a Poundmark store in North London. This one has been covered by plexiglass with some of that union jack bunting preserved between the plexiglass and the wall.

Banksy's umbrella girl was put up in 2008 around the anniversary of Katrina on the side of the drop-in center on the corner of North Rampart and Kerlerec in New Orleans. As far as I know, this one still exists, protected by a sheet of plexiglass.
