the vandals who spray directly over it because it is a banksy are just butt hurt idiots, but it is interesting to see the cacophony of graffitti that springs up around his work, almost as if taggers think, "oh we can paint here".

no imaination in tagging, never has been never will be. its the equivalent of a dog pissing on a lamppost.

I've seen tags which I'd call art and full of imagination. Your statement reminds me of this:

I've also lived in a house which constantly had a street side wall shittily tagged. Our solution was to organize a few of our graffiti artist friends to do a full mural. It worked, the little shits stopped tagging the wall.

Unfortunately street art is not respected by graffiti artists. Especially from an outsider of the city.

Seems pretty clear that most of these walls are just being reclaimed by the taggers that hit it in the first place.

They have no idea who Banksy is, which is awesome.

Oh, they know. They just don't respect him.

Even better!
