First, look at some pieces that have actually been up for a long time. In fact there’s one that has been up longer than some of the readers of this blog have been alive. Jimi on Haight, Carmen on Fillmore, the stuff on Webste at Haight, stuff on Bryant; it’s a long list of pieces that are untouched.
Some stuff has the unspoken collective respect because they are political, social, comical or iconic. Other stuff looks like shit the day after it’s thrown up.
Plenty of Banksy’s stuff is either cynical, sarcastic, political or makes a social statement; maybe that’s why he’s garnered so much respect.

This past christmas, this banksy guy stenciled over a 25 year old ROBBO piece in London. Why is it that when his shit gets the same (dis)respect he gives, its a tragedy amongst what i thought were respectable SF blogs with at least some grasp on the graffiti culture.

On a related note, all graffiti may be street art, but not all street art is graffiti.

Well OK. I guess that means all the people who LIVE in North Beach aren’t actual San Franciscans then.

Isn’t the very nature of graffiti that is all temporary anyways? Why are we elevating one “artist” over the others?
