That piece is actually right in the middle so yeah it IS on the Tea House wall. And it's on the Boundless wall. And what diff does it make either way?

]]> <![CDATA[Banksy Doppelganger Strikes Hipster Tea House]]> @Shadowy Figure: Yeah, but stenciling is really hard. You have to study for years at stenciling school, and then spend many more years as an apprentice to a stenciler before you can become a full-fledged stencil artist in your own right.

So you want Banksy to just quit stenciling, after all of that hard work and life preparation?

Also, stenciling is a dying art. If the last few practitioners like Banksy stop doing it, the knowledge will be lost to mankind forever.

If that happens, mankind will one day need a stencil, but we won't know how to make one. And then what will we do? We'll be totally fucked.

]]> <![CDATA[Banksy Doppelganger Strikes Hipster Tea House]]> @VirusWithShoes: I agree. And while I'm at it, I don't really care who Banksy his, as I think he should give up the stenciling already. Stenciling should have stayed back in 2003.

Giraffe beats Donkey by submission, 1:35 in the first round.

]]> <![CDATA[Banksy Doppelganger Strikes Hipster Tea House]]> @VirusWithShoes: I can't hate on anything giraffe-themed. But it doesn't have a particularly edgy feeling to it, or a sense of comment or purpose. It's like the murals in the subway. Better than a brick wall. Nice. A picture of it isn't going to seem relevant a year from now, though.

Then the press release comes out.

I'm just sayin.

]]> <![CDATA[Banksy Doppelganger Strikes Hipster Tea House]]> What's that around its neck?
It looks like the Giraffe is chained-up to that building. Which immediately makes me imagine that the building is Jabba the Hut and that Giraffe is Princess Leaia in a giraffe bikini. Damn now I want to sex that painted giraffe.

And it looks like the tongue is a weedpipe and the word Vandal is the nefariously intoxicating weedsmoke emanating out from that hot-ass Princess Leaia giraffe. Damn you Banksy Walker, I've just got to sex that painted giraffe.

]]> <![CDATA[Banksy Doppelganger Strikes Hipster Tea House]]> Hi - I happened to witness Nick Walker stencil the front gate of the former Nike ID store on Elizabeth Street last week. I have a store right across the street, so we watched him at work and a crew filming. It was pretty amazing and when we asked him why he was doing it, he said it was to bring some beauty for the neighbourhood to enjoy since the gate is a perpetual tagging target and usually quite an eyesore. Ironically the mural depicts 2 men splashing neon paint on the wall.

]]> <![CDATA[Banksy Doppelganger Strikes Hipster Tea House]]> "Banksy Doppelganger and I were in the semi-finals - the very semi-finals, mind you - of the ping-pong tournament at the club and this ghastly thing happened. We were both playing way over our heads and the score was 29-28. And we had this really terrific volley and I stepped back to get this really terrific shot. And I stepped on the ping-pong ball! I just squashed it to bits. And then Banksy and I ran to the closet of the game room to get another ping-pong ball . . . and the closet was locked! Imagine? We had to call the whole thing off. Well, it was ghastly. It was just ghastly!"
