FUCK BANKSY!

What exactly [sic] this Team Robbo name means?
Robbo: TEAM ROBBO stands for all of us freehand graffiti writers and not your stencil street art middle class art students.
What did you feel when you heard about Banksy overpainting your oldschool piece?
Robbo: At first very angry that he had an ego big enough to wipe out a 25yr old piece of graffiti history.
Beside of the matter of principle, do you consider your conflict with Banksy as “war” or “fun”?
Robbo: I consider it fun, I’m playing him at his own game and winning. When i was younger i would have looked at the situation differently and i would have been really PISSED and taken out all of bnksys work with no respect.
In the topics of about these affairs, people used to make an equality between Banksy and the so called “street art”. Do you agree whit this?
Robbo: Banksy has not been a graff writer for many years now, he is solely a street artist.
…. Again ! GO TEAM ROBBO!!!
…. That whole bansky vs Team Robbo Brouhaha made me think of this classic I haven’t heard in a while …..
It looks as though Robbo and his crew have painted over another one of Banksy’s pieces in Camden. If you remember, what set off this confrontation was Banksy painting over one of Robbo’s historical throwups, which was over 20 years old (although the feud probably had its origins from even earlier). After Team Robbo went back and remixed THAT Banksy piece, they now modify another one implying that Mr. B is fishing for street cred.
What is making what Team Robbo is doing more effective and infinitely more entertaining is the fact that they aren’t simply painting over or defacing Banksy’s work but actually changing it to suit their means. Although we doubt Sir Banksy will respond or escalate this any further, Robbo and the WRH family boasts that “No Banksy is safe,” so perhaps we will see more…
Original Piece:
….. GO TEAM ROBBO!
