Description Is this my art?
Did Banksy put it there for me to photograph and claim as my own?
If you put it on a wall in the middle of a city, is it still yours?

I think he would say no to all three.

I'm surprised it has lasted this long, I figured somebody would have either defaced it, stolen the wall (has happened before) or knocked the building down. Glad it was still there for you to question

Just thumbing through my old gallery, which doesn't get much love anymore, and saw this comment. Funny, I was driving past this a couple of weeks ago and it has, in fact been painted over by another "artist".

I don't know how long it'll be before you log in & see this but even though our streak of "knowing" each other & never meeting is virtually as legendary as me never having seen Goonies, it would still be good to see you in person one of these days.

It's been far too long since I've been back to NOLA. I'll find a way next trip to make sure we meet!

I found an old Google map of all of his work here, and it seems most of it is gone. Still a few I haven't tried looking for.
Did you hear the news about Hubig's burning down this morning? Saaaaad day.

Yeah, I heard the news about Hubig's. I was texting back and forth with a friend about it. You might not eat more than 1 or 2 a year, but there is something nice about knowing that you could

I think Banksy was there for the 3rd anniversary of Katrina so yeah, a lot of stuff has disappeared for various reasons. I'm sure it's still fun to go hunting though.

I see a NOLA trip coming sometime in the not too distant future so yet again another potential opportunity to catch a drink at some point

How many years have we been saying that?

And that's totally true about Hubig's. Kinda like how I don't eat beignets very often now that I live here, but I'm guessing you miss them now that you don't.

Probably 7 or 8 years. The important thing is we're still talking about it

I've never missed beignets, po-boys are the single biggest thing I miss. And "Go cups" - the world would be a much better place with "go cups" everywhere...

Ah yes. When you want to leave the bar faster than you can finish your drink.

And speaking of po-boys, did I mention we live within a short walk from Parkway Bakery?
