Yeah I can see that. I’ve seen those Otters in a few other places around the city too. So at least some of them are independent. Hopefully the Banksy pieces DONT get covered. That would suck I agree. But then again, its all just spray paint on a wall.

well, like i said…it’s almost guaranteed now that the building owner will have both of them painted over, and that’s a shame/ i agree, it’s not about whether the art is good or not. although if you want attention for your work, then get out there and do something worth bringing attention to and don’t piggyback on the attention that the banksy pieces are getting. i think it’s cheap.

It’s not about the Otter work being “bad”. Maybe he isn’t an amazing artist like Banksy (obviously) but at least it’s not some fucking little brat hood kids writing actual ugly graffiti words in scribble. I think as street art goes, its about that fun wild feeling of going out into the night and painting. That is art for them. He isn’t trying to compete with Banksy. And if he IS, at least people are talking about him, I’m sure he loves it.

this otter stuff is bullshit. not only is the artwork bad, but it’s a sure-fire way to have people consider all the graffiti that is now on the wall to be a nuisance and remove it all. i knew someone would come along and do something stupid like this. i kind of hoped someone wouldn’t, but then again, i put too much faith in humanity

I don’t think Otter is trying to get fame off Banksy. I think he admires Banksy and thought it would be fun to go out alone, no ladders, and paint his own pieces along side. There was no defacing of Banksy’s art AT ALL. And if Otter has “nothing to say” than neither does Banksy. Street art is street art!!
