Off Topic Hull: City of Culture

And that’s my point!! If Banksy did PRECISELY that then said house owner would **** himself to oblivion whilst listening to Today.

 

It was most likely a brain-dead chav who white-washed it, but a second guess - I wouldn't put it past the council...

My mate went down there and said they were pushing people back away from it, as the council were worried about health & safety near the bridge.
Add to the fact Cllr Geraghty said it wasn't his cup of tea and he had no idea what to do with it, along with Cllr Abbott stating it should be 'cleared off'.

Probably not, but shows how out-of-touch local councillors are - the dinosaurs need removing from power.

 

Glad it's staying in the city, but it really suits Paragon Interchange - might look a bit odd/out of place in St.Stephen's.

 

If you do - make sure you pop into Emmaus opposite for a coffee. They do great things for people that are formerly homeless, looking to get back to a normal life.

 

Maybe Banksy should give it a try at John Abbott’s house. He’s pretty middle class.

 

I think there is an element of The Emperor's New Clothes in all this.

It's Philistine v Aesthete.

Man the barricades !

 

And don't forget to raise the drawbridge

 

Phlegm from Sheffield is well-known street artist, as is Pinky from Hull.

Pinky did the Strawberry mural on Humber Street - it's had a giant staircase put infront of it, covering it up - sadly nobody cared as much about that.

This lad Sona from Hull seems to be up and coming.

 

Image of the Pinky covered over, here:


Wouldn't let me post the image for some reason...

 

Is it meant to be a completely black rectangle?

 

Is it this?

 

Nope - tried hosting the image on 2 different sites. Both wouldn't upload to here.

That was just meant to be the URL so you could click to view instead.

 

Phew! That should do the trick

Just like it did for the bricks on the Beverley Gate relic at the of the top of Whitefriargate that is currently used for skateboard practice by many youngsters.

 

I went to Banksy on Saturday morning .

























I had to order a new bank card.

 

Yes it was, but a new bulkier staircase has replaced that one and it covers a lot of the artwork.
