Confused. Says knuckles but I only saw slapping. Thought maybe there was something said at the end that might clear it up but not sure they were speaking English, or what they were on about.

All-in-all they be sweet t'each other compared to them Americans that do the same. : \

Cool location.

I like Jack Slack's fight commentary:

Don't know what it has to do with Banksy (mine's from his channel), but whatever; it's graffiti.

That was interesting.
That guy is world famous to those in the industry.
His artworks sell for well over a thousand dollars each, and yet when he puts them up for sale on the street, without all the hype that goes with his name, he can't even get $60 for them. Most of them went unsold.
It really proves that most of the price is in the hype.
Very little of it is due to any instantly recogniseable artistic value.

I thought they were nice, and I would have bought a few at $60 , but when they put prices of $1000 on a black and white spray image, that's way over the top.
Pretty much all of art is one big con job.

That wasn't Banksy was it? His graffiti art is better than that.

pricks a biteing little ****wit anyways

It was all original Banksy canvases, the fella that bought 6 got over $250,000 worth of art for 360 bucks. Yep $42k a canvas!

If that's what his stuff goes for he must be one of he only artists in history to make money before he dies.

I was in London maybe ten years ago and a mate showed me some of his graffiti that was around the Thames. Back then his work was small, discrete and nothing like normal graffiti, I guess that's where he developed his underground following. Has his identity ever been made public?
