A new holiday Banksy in Birmingham

Sweet, human, and not condescending to the subject matter as is so often the case.

We have at least one left in NYC - the Hammer Boy on 79th St. Might be a few others, but not many.

Banksy visited Detroit I believe around 2010 and went into the ruin of the old Packard plant and did one. Sometime afterwards, a bunch of local artists broke in and literally took the wall because the plant was going under the wrecking ball and they wanted to preserve the art, creating a huge controversy.

Here is a great article about the entire episode.
