Yes, but when that plot started moving it was AhMaaaayZing!

Kashink is rad. And I don’t disagree there are plenty of better artists than Banksy, but he is the most accessible to the widest audience. That alone makes him (her? them?) uniquely important in elevating graffiti into more than scribbling/tagging in the eye of the majority of the public.

I love Barbara Kruger. Much of the criticism of Banksy have been lobbed at her. Too simplistic, shallow obvious statements, basic, not technical. They’re both incredible though.   

As me, I don’t give a shit what you resent.

I’m currently sitting in a public place trying not to go into a full fucking hulk rage after reading this idiot juror’s thoughts. Dozens and dozens of women with the same story but noooooooooo this slut was askin for it. MEN ARE THE WORST LETS RID OURSELVES OF ALL OF THEM

The stupidity and horribleness of men and how they talk about sexual assault—because of course a bare midriff means “drug me and fuck me any time you want”—makes me sick. What the fuck is a “smoking gun” in a rape case? Ugh. Ugh. Aaaaaarrrrgggh

I think expecting the disillusioned, cynical youth of today to be blown away by the benign social commentary of a middle aged, upper middle class white man is a bit much tbh.

I’m massively inspired by this to create an online commic of Banksy’s roommate and all the crap he has to constantly put up with because Banksy cares more about his message than common courtsey and property rights...

It doesn’t look like he was going to drop the baby but he was certainly jostling her about quite a bit while jumping for the ball. You can see the baby is crying before the mother grabs her from him.

You know how there’s a kid in high school that draws a cartoon of Bugs Bunny suckling from the teet of a cow, and the cow has a dollar sign on it, and then the kid is like, “MY ART IS SOCIAL COMMENTARY!”

That’s basically Banksy. It’s very surface level social commentary that feels more like the graffiti equivalent of a…

Counterpoint: It’s a foul ball off the bat of Jay Bruce in a meaningless game. Not really worth almost dropping your infant child.

hold my beer, I mean baby

A brush against the shoulder can be considered sexual assault...

Warner Brothers investigated Warner Brothers and found that nothing bad happened at a Warner Brothers job-site, clearing Warner Brothers of any wrongdoing.

Most actors believe they are “sharing their gift.” Never date an actor.

But being unaware of the law doesn’t free you of the consequences of breaking it. I didn’t realize you had to drive for 100 yards in a lane before changing to another lane, but the ticket I paid and the point on my car insurance are the consequences for breaking that law.

“He’s [Trump] just new to this”. New to what?

EVERYONE. And every artist and gallery gets to decide how they want to respond.

It’s problematic when white people create art they think will be helpful to marginalized groups without consulting with those groups first. Those groups can tell allies what artwork white people could create that would be helpful to them. White people shouldn’t guess, they should ask.
