StreetArt Challenge week 2

This challenge is all about getting out and exploring your area (or somewhere you are vising) to share great street art with the steemit community.
When this post pays out I will send the SBD reward to the author of my favourite post.
Since we will be posting other peoples art, I will not be judging solely on the street art you are capturing, but the post as a whole.
So please write a little about the artist (if known) and some of your thoughts on the artwork. This hopefully also makes it a little fairer as some people may live around some great artists.
Please also write about the location. That way anyone else who visits the area can check it out.


Rules

  1. Please post only photos you have taken yourself
  2. Include some information on the artist and your thoughts on the artwork
  3. Post a link to the location on google maps
  4. make sure the first tag on your post is streetartchallenge
  5. The deadline for submission will be the payout on this post
  6. I will personally judge the post and reward my favourite with the SBD reward from this post

feel free to comment with your submissions here., and upvote and resteem to help improve the prize fund

This weeks thumbnail is a piece I found around 2010 in Newcastle. The first image is mine, but I didn't manage to take a photo of the rebuttal from the artist after it actually was painted white again. That image I sourced from here

A question for the comments of this post too this week....
Have you have ever seen any "battles" between artists and councils tasked with removing "Graffiti" ?

Good luck everyone, and happy exploring.

Very nice, following the same theme as my post isn't a requirement, but I like how you went with it.

Thank you! I like the back and forth myself and remembered about my images from Florence. The initial taunt and "boooring" response are very clever.

Some would call that vandalism? I'm still waiting for Banksy to paint my wall. :-D

Yeah, I'll admit, as much as I appreciate street art this one is right on the limit between art/vandalism for me. But I do like the dialogue.
I like how it provokes that question of where the line is too.

And yeah that banksy on the wall may well up the value of your house 😋

Mate, cutting the lawn would add value too. :-D
