Only because he repainted over some work that had been painted over his initially. The other artist who's name I forget came back and altered it again once this piece was done...
Team Robbo! Banksy stole his style from a French street artist! You'll need to watch Style Warz. Rule No1 never bomb or go over another man'z work. That's why some graffiti artist see him as a FAKE!
As far as I am aware, Banksy painted the original 'Robbo' mural back in black and white with a lighted candle (fashinoned from a spray can) as a tribute after Robbo suffered a serious head injury and was left in a coma. Team Robbo then repainted the original mural over Banksy's tribute. That is what stands there now.
@gilbert2106 I think her work is based more in classic street art (Latino murals) than traditional graffiti 'bombing' per se, but she's still excellent though. :-)
True Billy but from what I've read about her she hangs her work subversively under cover of darkness. Next time we're in NYC I'll be looking out for her.
One of the most hated and disputed Banksy pieces ever.

Love banksy

The other artist, who's work was painted over is called, King Robbo.
In fairness king Robbos work was pretty crap and had become synonymous with unappealing, aesthetically tired design

Still loving this one
Robbo was more a Grafitti bomber than an artist still good in his own right.
King Robbos work was crap? Yeah good one :/
johnny-john and alss51 your talking crap, and I would advise you to get a copy of spray can art and subway art and read look and learn.....
I am almost positive Team Robbo responded by altering the piece to show the man painting King Robbo back on the wall
This is so wrong a piece of street art history defaced by banksy!!!!

Anyone checked out NYC based street artist Swoon? She takes this to another level.
