Another Banksy in Beantown?

 

It's 8:30 PM on my home and I saw this Banksy graffiti on a wall near my crib.  Hurriedly took a crappy cellphone snap.  Will come back tomorrow to get a decent shot.  I hope it's another Banksy!
 

Banksy Tags Boston


Banksy is a pseudonymous British graffiti artist. He is believed to be a native of Yate, South Gloucestershire, near Bristol and to have been born in 1974, but his identity is unknown. According to Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s." His artworks are often satirical pieces of art on topics such as politics, culture, and ethics. His street art, which combines graffiti writing with a distinctive stencilling  technique, is similar to Blek le Rat, who began to work with stencils in 1981 in Paris and members of the anarcho-punk band Crass who maintained a graffiti stencil campaign on the London Tube System in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His art has appeared in cities around the world. Banksy's work was born out of the Bristol underground scene which involved collaborations between artists and musicians. [wiki]


A Banksy styled tags on the sidewall of Shabu-Shabu, KTV restaurant in Boston Chinatown, just after the boundary of the long gone Boston Combat Zone. Is it a Banksy? I don't know but this is my attempt to incorporate the girl in pony tail in a Banksy styled graffiti.
